Backstage at Raf's London Rave

There are few designers who can create work with punk rock references and remain elegant, and Simons seems to have the analytical brain built just for the challenge. He understands the ethos of rave culture and channels it into high-quality tailoring and a refined, obviously well thought-out palate that echoes all that is techno without being derivative or obvious. 

Though we can't say Simons surprised us in a significant way with the SS23 collection, we're perfectly satisfied. He gave us Raf, he threw us a rave, and he executed what he does well with flying (neon) colors.
