By 2004, we were firmly in a new era of Raf’s work — the second or third, depending where one places their yardstick. He was no longer a subversive newcomer, but a pillar not unlike the giants he once sought to undermine. The season’s were emblazoned with loosely-connected names of trailblazers who defined their area of expertise, a tacit suggestion of Raf’s standing within his own domain.

With these trousers, Raf reintroduced a technique he’d used the season before, in which he affixed shreds of t-shirts to a pair of jeans. The offerings from the fall of 2004 additionally displayed one of the season’s signature visuals, the “Bodysnatchers” print, across the t-shirt.
