“Today’s living environment is about consuming as well as being consumed; some suggest this could lead to an apocalyptic end, while others, particularly younger generations, take this reality as their cue to create new, more viable and flexible personas.” - Raf Simons Show Notes. Probably one of the most iconic pieces from Raf Simons -- The "Consumed" Button Up in white on black as displayed on the runway. This piece deserves some explanation especially as there's little of it despite the interest surrounding it today. The button up, to bluntly put it, graphically exemplifies "Consumed", the entire season and its creative foundations, as the above show note statement suggests. More so it resembles the "tattooed" model also carrying similar corporate graphics which was a strong highlight for Raf's show. And as with all of Raf's work, inspired and continues to inspire Men's fashion/youth amongst creators, enthusiasts and the like. Ashley Bickerton's work was also featured in the 2003 Consumed season as well. Matte and coated fabric. Sunlight does not shine through this. The graphics are also matted and coated and have a distinct texture to them. Collegiate button down collar with signature Raf Simons high waisted, untuckable bottom hem. 1/2 length sleeves. 8/10 condition. Size 48, fits a slim M.

FW04-05 Raf Simons "Waves" Body Snatchers tee. Most likely referencing  Finney's Novel and the multiple adaptations of "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers". Print is a thick, robust material as always with older raf. Dye processing is apparent as the tee's colour is muddy. Thin and elastic cut and sew tee. Oversized Length. 8/10 condition. Sz 52 and fits anywhere from M-XXL comfortably.

Raf Simons "Waves" Tee from FW04. Staple tee featuring "Exiles Everywhere We Go" motto, fitted perfectly with the season's dreadful, but oddly serene graphics and themes along side the "life is in itself and forever shipwreck". Distressed and faded, has the thick and robust signature Raf graphic print. Fits oversized, and slumps at shoulders. 8/10 condition. Size 46 but can fit an oversized medium to a slim large.

Short Sleeve "R" Button Up. Pink yoke with light pink "R" embroidery on the left chest. "Raf Simons" labeled buttons. Boxy cropped fit. 8.5/10 condition. Sz 52 Fits an L or so.

Brian Calvin x Raf Simons Runway Sleeveless Oversized Shirt. Full all over graphic featuring Calvin's work. This is the long runway tunic version. One of my favourite of the artist collabs. This piece was worn over shorts on the catwalk. Tunic silhouette. 7/10 condition. The graphic is equally faded and desaturated of colour. size S but fits S-M loosely.
