Dover Street Market London and Raf Simons Present the Tour Cardigan

— May 16, 2023 — Fashion
Belgian avant-garde fashion designer Raf Simons had a recent London Fashion Week debut and it was a farewell to his eponymous brand -- now he honors every single show he has had starting in 1995 with the Tour Cardigan. The cardigan is designed with a black base and has a mid-weight knitted design adorned with symbolic branding along both the front and back in white for tonal contrast.

At the chest of the design reads PRINTWORKS which is a celebration of its runway show that took place at the institutional London music venue which is now closed. The dropped shoulders create a slouchy look and it is defined by the elongated rib-cuff sleeves as well to boast a relaxed shape.
