Raf Simons launches the new 'History of my World' retail platform that drops a selection of special blankets that are designed in studio. The Belgian designer recently announced plans of the platform and gives fans a deep dive into his point of view during design, philosophy, and aesthetics.
The selection of designs range from clothing, literature, and homeware as well. The title of the platform has been seen before, back in 2005 when the brand used it to honor its 10th anniversary capsule of 45 blankets. Every blanket is produced in the studio and entirely one-off. The platform features a series of books by the designer and some candles as well. Notably all of the books are on sale and can be signed by Simons.
