After he launched his own menswear label in the 1995, Raf Simons has become one of the most exciting designers in the fashion industry. Poetic, elegant and free-thinking, his designs reflect his passion for music, art and contemporary culture. They speak to a generation of the modern world, which makes him one of the most revolutionary creative minds.

After giving back Jil Sander its position in the luxury market during his work for the brand from 2005 until 2011 and his marvelous creations for the house of Dior, where he was appointed artistic director in 2012, Raf Simons deserves to be celebrated. i-D pays tribute to the Belgian designer and celebrates all his aforementioned achievements through a 120-page book that features his two first collections for the Parisian House and an exclusive interview.

This stunning portfolio also includes images by famed photographers such as Willy Vanderperre and Alasdair McLellan. Is there anything else needed to dive into the world of this fashion genius?
