Raf Simons Offers Easy, Contradictory Elegance for Fall 2021

 

On Wednesday, Raf Simons dropped the lookbook for his namesake label’s Fall 2021 men’s and women’s collections, after introducing the latter category last season.

The easy, contradictory, elegant autumnal line was inspired by a series of words, which the brand noted in a press release had no “hierarchy or intentional sequence.” Those are: arataxia (defined by Raf Simons as “a state of freedom from emotional disturbance and anxiety”), equanimity (“calmness of mind or temper”), dichotomy (“division into two parts or classifications, [especially] when they are sharply distinguished or opposed”), synchronicity (“an apparently meaningful coincidence in time of two or more similar or identical events that are causally unrelated”), allegiance (“support for and loyalty to a particular group, person or belief”) and devotion (“an affection, admiration or great love”).
