“Juxtaposing different eras, obsessions and creative approaches in single outfits, assembled from reflections of the past, a new vitality and dynamism is found in contrasts,” the press release from Raf Simons states. “The past always composes the present: This approach reflects the identity of Raf Simons, a history informing the nature.”
Archive Redux will be released in July 2020, with deliveries from December 2020. The Raf Simons SS21 collection will be presented F20.
The editorial is more of an experience than a series of photos. Featuring avatar elements and AR implementation that makes you feel the clothes in real time, the editorial was masterminded by creative director Till Janz and gives you a taste of what it’s like to time travel through decades past. Including a mix 70s style and modern garments, the project is both vintage and futuristic, exuding the energy of a retro clubhouse that has gone through a re-rendering on its way to a mobile download.
We wear clothes not only to have our expressions seen but also shared. The way we think about fashion has to both be physical and virtual, and this project takes the best of both worlds and introduces a fashion landscape you wouldn’t think possible.

The Recycled collection features a green logo and introduces a polyester fabric recycled from plastic bottles. The Circular Economy Jacket, made out of 100% recycled material, is the icon of the collection. The external fabric, Nety, is made of repurposed fishing nets and recycled nylon. Zippers are recycled as well and made of NYLON 6. This collection also consists of rainwear and sportswear that guarantees a higher level of comfort and performance.
Save The Duck will be collaborating with Sea Shepherd, a non-profit marine conservation organization defending wildlife and protecting the world’s oceans, that inspired a capsule collection for this effort. The capsule collection consists of waterproof parkas, sleeveless jackets, sweaters, and tees all featuring Sea Shepherds logo and shared claims: Defend-Conserve-Protect and We Respect Animals.
In addition to that, Save The Duck has sponsored the 10 Rivers 1 Ocean project, where Alex Bellini, an explorer, navigates through the ten most plastic-polluted rivers to bring awareness to our waterways. We at office support Save The Duck and its efforts in being sustainable and making the world a better place.
