Raf Simons Asymmetrical Spiral Denim 2005 Spring/Summer “History Of The World”
Using a palette pared to black, white, and shades of pale gray, he expressed his tailoring skill in linear, luxurious suits and coats that had a Gattaca flair. Suspendered stirrup pants made the silhouette even leaner (and topical; with the Olympics looming, it read as a gymnastics reference). Then the leanness exploded, in triple-pleated leather trousers, funnel-necked tops, and huge white coats that floated like angel wings. On that optimistic note, Simons concluded a stunning show that felt like a fresh start for him.
