Dior‘s Lee Young Kyoon has launched a website selling archive Raf Simons pieces, ranging from the iconic 2001 “Riot! Riot! Riot!” collection to the more recent 2018-19 “Replicants” collection.
The website offers up some of the rarest and most important Raf Simons pieces around, with notable items including a “Riot! Riot! Riot!” runway oversized blouson and a sweater from the same era covered in patches imagining David Bowie, Richy Edwards, a Joy Division concert poster and an article for the missing Edwards from the Manic Street Preachers.
