“Consumed” was the culmination of a two-year run which began with AW2001’s "Riot Riot Riot,” and continued through SS2002 “Woe Onto Those Who Spit on the Fear Generation…” and AW2002 “Virginia Creeper.” Over the course of these collections, Simons abandoned his mediations on schoolboys and the upper class in favor of the in-your-face-angst of the working class. Where he once employed the visuals of bygone rockstars, borrowing niche images of Peter Murphy and Kraftwerk which were intended to hold significance merely to a select few, he was now reclaiming mass imagery such as Playstation and Jaws to craft a statement about where such monoculture was shepherding society. “Consumed” visualized the future as a dystopian cityscape in which brands became one’s identity. The clothes were covered with directionless collages of logos, while atop them models wore Coke cans and Marlboro packs as accessories.

Throughout the early 2000s, Raf Simons often released knits and hoodies in both standard numerical sizing, and an oversized, “one size,” option. The oversized iterations were frequently seen on the runway, and are both rarer and more coveted than their counterparts. This hoodie’s unique silhouette — marked by massive cut-outs through the shoulder and torso — is one of the defining and most inventive shapes to come from “Consumed.”
