Well yeah, I've said things which I've changed my mind/ will change my mind about but its like I'm just having an argument with myself cause everyone else is busy being all "EW RAF!". I don't know whats going on inside his head (neither does anyone here) and there isn't a point in speculating.
I agree that the homewares/heritage lines sounds like "sell out" and I'm thinking the products in those lines won't really interest me. So I'll just let it fall off the radar.
Does anyone realise this thread is just a load of bitter people whining about some guy somewhere far away who's doing something they don't agree with?

Surely people are bitter only because they know what this guy used to be capable of. And now, when he's been given a good opportunity for reinvention, he's doing exactly what he shouldn't: spreading himself even thinner. We could assume that it was his manufacturer pushing him to have all these diffusion lines and collaborations, but we can't be sure anymore; that relationship has just been broken off and he's creating even more lines.
I didn't grow up in the same time period as him, but I understand how heavily he latched on to music and culture because I know that in myself, so to see that he can digress so far from that is puzzling and a bit sad. I mean, the same guy who referred to a song by the Cure for more than one season (and thereby obviously displayed what kind of things moved him) is now putting out towels with his name stamped all over them. Can you not see the disparity? There's no longer the same personal attachment to his own output. People who liked his older work probably know that translating such attachment into tangible work is a singular trait, and subsequently have every right to be disappointed with him and, yes, bitter, even if we don't know the bloody man.
His work is for public consumption. If he didn't want criticism, he should've been making and wearing his own clothes exclusively. Evidently he doesn't.

they are extremely narrow minded, i would say.
i can imagine Raf's blankets thrown over the corbusier chair in the Villa Savoye living room.. Villa Savoye, as Corbusier describes it, is a machine to live in. and those Raf towels in the Villa Savoye bathroom. i cant wait for the homeware line, really. so Bauhaus.RafHouse.

I, personally, cannot wait for Raf's new line of condoms. I bet they will smell like teen spirit.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde
