In June 2019, Raf Simons took to Paris Fashion Week to showcase his Spring/Summer 2020 collection, and now, the Belgian designer has enlisted frequent collaborator Willy Vanderperre to shoot the campaign.

The minimalistic campaign imagery captures an intrigued group of models decked in Simons’ latest work, ranging from his highly-limited printed T-shirts to various pieces such as sports shorts sporting this season’s key slogan, “RS-LAB.”

Elsewhere, Vanderperre shines the spotlight on the collection’s sci-fi-like pieces, such as the colorful Labo Coats and complementing rubber gloves. There’s an equal focus on tailoring pieces such as the oversized checkered blazer, the contrast-label suit jacket, and the lightweight blazer that’s finished with a pin-on fabric patch stating “MY OWN PRIVATE ANTWERP.”

Take a look at stripped-back Raf Simons SS20 campaign in the gallery above, and shop the collection via retailers such as SSENSE now.

In case you missed it, here is how to wear some of this season’s most daring pieces, such as Raf Simons’ dress-like Labo Coat.
