The
spring
2023
collection
closed
out
the
brand
with
a
 show
staged
during
London’s
Frieze
Art
Fair,
which
turned
into
a
rave
after
the
last
model
took
their
turn
on
the
catwalk.
Raf’s
spring
collection
featured
works
by
the
late
artist
Philippe
Vandenberg.
His
works
were
the
perfect
backdrop
to
the
death
of
Raf
Simons.

“They’re
cruel
words,
like
‘Kill
them
all
and
dance.’
But
he
didn’t
mean
killing
people,”
a
quote
from
the
designer
published
in
a


Vogue
article.
“He
meant
killing
things
that
you’re
doing
creatively
in
order
to
move
on
and
explore
further.”

Simons
initially
launched
his
brand
in
1995
after
working
as
a
furniture
designer
and
interning
at
fellow
Belgian
Walter
Van
Beirendonck’s
design
studio.
He
and
the
label
found
exponential
success
and
a
cult
following
which
catered
to
youth-oriented
collections
that
was
inspired
by
his
love
for
underground
art
and
music.
The
minimalist
silhouettes
have
remained
a
fashion
favorite
for
nearly
three
decades.

“I
lack
the
words
to
share
how
proud
I
am
of
all
that
we
have
achieved,”
Simons
wrote
in
his
Instagram
post.
“I
am
grateful
for
the
incredible
support
from
my
team,
from
my
collaborators,
from
the
press
and
buyers,
from
my
friends
and
family,
and
from
our
devoted
fans
and
loyal
followers.
Thank
you
all,
for
believing
in
our
vision
and
for
believing
in
me.”
