Jil Sander The Final Note: Garcia’s twangy, free-form guitar came from the NSFW scene from the 1970’s Antonioni film, shown on screens during the runway proceedings. The result? An aptly arty, earthy, and cultish backdrop to Raf Simons’ rough-hewn intellectualism.

Rather than designing the umpteenth collection with his signature pieces in reinvented fabrics, he should maybe channel his talent towards a new direction and maybe concentrate on reduced capsule collections of jackets and coats, after all, nobody can resist a good piece of outerwear that can last you forever, many of us can instead to without the umpteenth apron, top or pair of baggy trousers.
