    ◆ The JIL SANDER & RAF SIMONS shopper thread ◆

    As people have noted, there were three versions of the chain derbies: with a flat chain around the welt, with a 'standing up' chunky chain around the welt and with chain around the toe only. They were all available to buy in the showroom in three chain colours (gold, silver and black) so all...

    I *think* Raf did skull accessories before McQueen became synonymous with skulls. As I said in the post, the skull key rings, pendants etc. are re-issues of styles which he first showed around 2002 ? McQueen skull mania kicked off around 2006-7.

    The last rumour I heard, from someone who works at another LVMH/Dior group fashion house, was that he (or whoever else is chosen) would be given the title of (overall) Creative Director, including Dior Homme - although the implication was the relationship with the mens would be like Alber Elbaz...

    ◆ The JIL SANDER & RAF SIMONS shopper thread ◆

    Great idea for a thread! A few Raf-related things I might be able to clear up.. Because something is featured in a magazine editorial it does NOT mean it has been put into production and will hit the shops, because magazines shoot the sample collection (basically the same clothes that...
