Raf Simons SS2006 Cut-Out Hoodie
Spring 2006 celebrated the tenth anniversary of Raf Simons’s eponymous label. The occasion was marked by a retrospective book, and an unusually decadent runway show held at the Boboli Gardens in Florence. The season was titled “Icarus Surgit,” after the notorious figure of Greek lore who flew too close to the sun. The idea of flight was evidently on Simons’ mind during the creative process, which resulted in a runway full of lightweight, oversized fabrics of lace and mesh, many of which featured cut-outs, slashes, and other open details.
This design is adopted from spring 2003's "Consumed" collection. It fits in seamlessly to a collection that focused on open skin, and garments that moved when in motion — oversized trousers and trench coats billowed as models strutted the runway. It emphasizes the unique construction of the garment more so than “Consumed” did, where the focal point was the hoodie's extremely oversized proportions.
