The 'Man' line typically reintroduces multiple themes and designs from Watanabe's time capsule which borrows or reissues from older seasons -- Most common being the "poem" designs which were released in 2001, 2005, 2008/09 and recently. The varsity theme is one of the few themes that stays unique to only two years: 2002 and 2006. The season featured nostalgic motifs from middle America varsity sports and school mascots. Pants, hoodies, tees and shirts sported graphics of said mascots and logos. Unique to this season however, a handful of these designs were printed on garments with biker details which were indicative by padded knees, shoulders and zips on limb ends to tuck boots or gloves under. Moto jacket is of a sweatshirt material. Moto details include adjustable leather waist straps, padded details, zippered pockets and wrist zips. Faded red.

SS03 “Consumed” Penelope Tree Shark Hoodie
Raf Simons
$1
SS03 “Consumed” Penelope Tree Shark Hoodie
"There are three reasons to come to Paris: Hedi Slimane of Dior, Tom Ford of Yves Saint Laurent and Helmut Lang. Actually, there is a fourth -- Raf Simons, who in a parking garage on Sunday night -- on a platform made of crushed soda cans -- superbly articulated how contemporary culture has become a thoughtless Pac-Man, gobbling up products as well as references. It's rare for a designer to make a political statement in fashion and still offer wearable clothes"
-- Cathy Horyn 2002
Raf Simons SS03 "Consumed" Penelope Tree Shark Hoodie in blue over black. SS03 "Consumed" is Raf's quiet observation of consumerism, or to be "consumed" by consumerism -- Its effects on youth; Their impartial interaction with such commercial entities and the molding of adolescent identities rooting from the collective indifference towards the squandering influence of commercial identities. This is the iconic and highly sought after hooded sweatshirt featuring Penelope Tree, from Truman Capote's Black & White ball, and Steven Spielberg's mechanical shark from Jaws in the backdrop, with "Diamond Co-Opted" written underneath the kangaroo pocket.
The Penelope Tree print featured here on the hoodie derives from a picture which served as a pivotal point in fashion, youth culture and high society America. The original black and white picture has beanpole figured Tree staring dauntingly out in the distance from amongst a group of middle age socialites. This grabbed the attention of prominent figures of fashion and despite strong opposition from Penelope's father, as she was 16, Penelope Tree became the quintessential swinging sixties icon which galvanized female youth culture and movements at the time. Furthermore, inspired a generation of artists and designers to look at youth culture for inspiration and solidified the Youthquake movement.
As for Raf Simons, and this is purely out of speculation, Penelope Tree holds a special place of interest as his source of inspiration will be and has been the youth.

AW05 “History of My World” Peter De Potter Hoodie
Raf Simons
$1,500
AW05 “History of My World” Peter De Potter Hoodie
Raf Simons AW05 "History of My World" Hoodie with Peter De Potter graphic. Raf's relationship with Peter de Potter is the foundation for the label's well acclaimed cryptic graphical works. Both graduating from The Royal Academy of Fine Arts, and originally a supposed one time collaboration for 2000-2001, the two worked together under the guidance of head of fashion Walter Van Brenondoink (a strong advocate of interdisciplinary work) with photographer Willy Vanderpere and stylist Oliver Rizzio to create the book "Isolated Heroes", the catalyst to Raf's prime years. Raf Simons later borrowed photographs from said book in a recent collection titled "Isolated Heroes". Crafted poems, graphics, collages which abruptly collided with Raf's relationship with music or youth and were displayed in a vague, enigmatic medium was spearheaded by Peter de Potter and continued 9 years after Isolated Heroes. Due to the nature of the graphics, the words or prints on Raf's clothing is a melting pot of musical and personal references which require acute dissection. Seems though, there's something -real- which emanates past all those layers that make some gravitate towards Raf/Peter's work.
9/10 condition. Size 54, very rare size, fits big, XL-XXL.

AW03 “Closer” Puffer Down Moto Jacket
Raf Simons
$1,200
AW03 “Closer” Puffer Down Moto Jacket
Raf Simons AW03 "Closer" Puffer Down Moto Jacket in a dark navy. Simons's "Closer" touches base with his roots to music, especially with Joy Division and New Order, with Raf's Peter Saville admiration spearheading the entire collection. Taken from the Mode Museum in Antwerp:
"This season, Raf Simons was granted full access to the archives of Peter Saville. Raf Simons made a personal selection of Saville-designed works (some of them previously unseen) to integrate them into his collection. As a long-time admirer of Peter Saville, Raf Simons considers this a great honour, and therefore dedicates his collection to the man who put an unique spin on music culture. The collection itself focuses on traditional styles and fabrics, augmented by a mod influence. Linked to the aesthetics of Peter Saville, there are also touches of early Russian Constructivism, Bauhaus and vintage British looks. At the same time, the collection reflects on the process of growing up and (re)considering adulthood, citing references to childhood dress codes, formal business looks and ghetto rebellion."
Cleanly executed crossover of a puffer jacket and moto jacket, which nods to two different functions and styles from two worlds and tailors them harmoniously together. Puffer jacket is structured as a moto jacket and sought to be fitted close to the chest. Multiple functional zip pockets. Snap button down lapels. Round and wide silhouette. Adjustable waist buckles. Arm pocket. High waisted.
8/10 condition. Right pocket is blown out and needs repair. Size 54, extremely rare size. Fits an XL-XXL.

Fw01 “Riot Riot Riot” Skirted Camo Bomber
Raf Simons
$8,350
Fw01 “Riot Riot Riot” Skirted Camo Bomber
Raf Simons Fw01 "Riot Riot Riot" Skirted Camo Bomber. As Raf's garments become more and more coveted, only circulating in the tucked away collector's marketplace, it becomes harder to document the pieces that actually hold historical and aesthetic significance as they become harder to come in hand. Held at an abandoned warehouse in Paris, fog machines spewing smoke, Aphex Twin blaring overhead was Raf's most influential and iconic runway: FW01 "Riot! Riot! Riot!", dedicated to isolated hero Richey Edwards from the Manic Street Preachers. Models were coded in black, grey, olive and muddy colours, completely covered in scarves, outerwear, baggy pants, oversized everything. This was a massive turn for Raf, as his previous collections consisted of sartorial, slim, finely cut and precisely designed garments which were influenced by upperclass youth. Undoubtedly influential to current day designers, but mostly ignored by the hoi polloi at its time.
“At the flea market in Vienna, I saw youngsters from the Ukraine or Romania, who simply lay layer by layer and thus create their own volumes because of the cold,” Neue Zürcher Zeitung
Raf captured the ethos of iconoclasm with this season. The runway was filled with large silhouettes of intense layering and wreaked of radicalism. Each look represented a slice of opposition, more specifically from the youth. This collection also happened to be shown a bit before the 9/11 attacks, but is believed to be more of a quiet observation of racial tensions and political turmoil in northern Europe at the time.
Skirted bomber is actually a repurposed surplus military bomber with a detachable skirt made with thick double layered cotton. Faded and meant to look worn. First look that walked the catwalk.
