AW02 Virginia Creeper "Roots" Hooded Sweatshirt. One of the most iconic seasons in regards from graphic heavy Raf Simons connoisseurs. Decay and Americana were two main elements of the season which renders this hoodie quintessential in representation of both of those themes, making this a staple Virginia Creeper piece. The Acid wash treatment slowly eats away at the fabric, leaving scars on the hoodie's surface molded around the wearer. "Virginia Creeper" is labeled throughout, resembling an old American collegiate sweater or varsity logo. On the back is print of "roots" spreading out. More vibrant and rarer wine/red colourway. Raf's signature acid wash treatment is unique to each item. Some distressing is from use while others simply were sold with heavily distributed distressing. Size 48, fits a slim M, slightly shrunk from the oversized fit.

FW 2010 Maison Margiela Sample Unnamed Coat that never hit production lines. Features a zipper line that starts from the bottom of the coat and ends at the wrists of the arms. 4 Pockets, including the padded and zipped chest pockets. Stylized fabric that runs along the zipper line that nearly creates a heavy mantle-like silhouette around the back and neck region. Thick poly padded inner with two inner pockets. Incredibly constructed and designed coat that sadly never made it to its final form. The zipper under the placket is actually not functional but CAN be made functional if the right hardware is installed. Instead, this coat is shut closed by one button up near the collar. Complex and deep mauve colour, easily integratabtle to darker wardrobes without being too ostentatious or loud. 9/10 condition. Size 48

THIS MOVEMENT OF THE ARMS WHICH IS HIS REACTION AGAINST HIS OWN DESTRUCTION, IS CULTURE -- A SWIMMING STROKE. Raf Simons 2004-05 a passage from pessimist philosopher Ortega e Gasset. Graphic is deeply ingrained into fabric. Bottom right corner shows a drawing of what looks like a man moving "his arms to keep afloat". 8/10 condition. Sz 48 fits very big
