SS03 “Consumed” White Tank
“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. Raf Simons SS03 "Consumed" Tank in the white colourway. SS03 is one of Raf's more well received collections by the "graphics" type of Raf collectors and possibly the most iconic. As the passage from the show notes above states, this is Raf's introspective dive into his interpretation of consumerism and identity with younger generations. Slapped on the tank is the 'consumed' graphic which was inked on the chests of some of the runway models with familiar commercial logos. This is a much looser tank compared to his more common ultraslim fitted tanks. 8/10 condition. Size 48 and fits true, slightly loose. Fits an L fitted.$352 -
SS14 “GODOG” Self-Titled Shirt
Undercover's SS14 revolved around lyrics + ethos from a few post punk/rock bands including Jesus and the Mary Chain and The Savages. The opening manifesto for the runway featured a small lyrical passage from The Savages: "The world used to be silent/Now it has too many voices/And the noises are constant distraction/They multiply, intensify." One of the key design elements for the women's collection was word play. Garments sported words such as "Insult/Sunlit" "Listen/Silent" "Noise/Thoughts" and the collection's title "God/Dog". Some of the wordplay was rather political while others were mildly intriguing with the remaining few being fun anagrams. 100% cotton Tee with graphic, undercover title at bottom and collection title slightly below that. 8/10 condition. Sz 2 Fits a small.$70$51 -

SS15 “Koi” Extended Silhouette LongSleeve
Raf Simons SS15 Extended Silhouette Longsleeve. One of the more graphic heavy recent seasons by Raf is a peep into his past memories.
