    I thought A/W 08 wasn't bad. Had some solid pieces. And I did pick one piece from current collection. I'll try to post it tonight.

      I'm looking forward to F/W 08 to see the return to tailoring.

        Disorder-Incubation-Isolation Collection Autumn/Winter 1999/2000

        9th season, the collection is shown in a Filmstudio “Studio Carrère” on the Avenue du Président Wilson no. 50 in Paris close to Porte de la Chapelle on Friday 29th January 1999 at 09h30 pm.

        A little group of teenagers opened the show, with black flags featuring the following words:

        DISORDER INCUBATION ISOLATION

        These words are important to describe the image of the collection, and it is also a memorial to Joy Division.

        The global idea of this collection is to make a reference to the past, specially the first two parts of the show. Fashion goes so quick that people tend to forget the historical meaning of clothes, especially costumes. This is why the opening of the show was like a procession to create the right atmosphere.

        The most important part was a group of models wearing black Capes, classical, asymmetric and circle shapes in ¾ length, a variety of design, an other group wearing ceremonial costumes, shirts with cuffs and collar that are removable. The hair was very constructed in sharp lines. The first three groups had black coloured hair. And in the last part the hair changed to blond coloured hair, but still very constructed hairstyles.

        The colour of the outfit changed from black to grey. Raf Simons likes plain, black and monotone, but also he likes the past in contrast to the future. The music was in this part very fast.
        The blond group was wearing long light grey and dark grey coats with zippers. The silhouettes are very clean: shirts in classical weaving wool fabrics without collars. Nearly each light grey outfit was with a white “R” Turtleneck and the dark grey outfits with a red “R” Turtleneck.

        The music of the show:
        1 Placebo - ION
        2 Suede - INTRODUCINE THE BAND
        3 Ultravox - VIENNA
        4 The art of noise - INSTRUMENTS OF DARKNESS
        5 The art of noise – PARANOIMIA

                            I'm surprised nobody had posted the promotional films that Raf put out to go alongside his collections. The first (I think) was SS 1997 in which a group of kids rush towards an abandoned building some skateboarding along to a heavy 90's inspired soundtrack... Depeche Mode and Radiohead if I recall correctly. None of these films are on youtube unfortunately but if anybody has some of them I would urge you to upload them...

                              These films were the first things that initially drew me into Raf Simons and got me interested in the man and his work.
