SS18 Silver Waxed Warhol Denim Jacket Sample

Following his debut at Calvin Klein, Raf Simons took a very special attempt at creating his Spring Summer 2018 Collection. In a time where collaborations seem to have no limits, Raf Simons chose to stay true to his artistic values by collaboration with the Andy Warhol Foundation, giving him access to the whole Archive of Andy Warhol and his artworks. The main focus laid on the use of Warhol’s “Death and Disaster” series, featuring clothes with screen-printed images of car crashes, electric chairs and more out of the series. (“Death and Disaster” started when Henry Geldzahler, a curator and friend to Warhol, suggested the artist go deeper after creating his now iconic Campbell’s Soup Cans.)
