Vogue Italiaさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Vogue ItaliaInstagram)「Ahead of the digital release of the Prada FW21 Men’s show, we share a preview of the exclusive interview with @RafSimons which will be featured in the upcoming new issue of @luomovogue. “I was always interested in this disconnection between generations, which is an important thing. I was attracted by the possibility of having a dialogue with other generations, either agreeing or disagreeing, questioning each other.” says Raf Simons. “I was thinking about youth culture for nearly half of the 20th century. Basically since I was born in 1968. I’m a kid of hippy parents, but for some reason I never touched hippy culture. I looked at all the other manifestations of youth culture - new wave, punks, grungers - not only from an aesthetic point of view but also the principles they stood for. I think those principles are still relevant today and I see that young people stille abide by them: sexual liberation, the no-gender issue, disagreement with the political establishment, ecological awareness and harmony with nature. All of this is very important to me and my creative process. I started to realise that the brand wasn’t only being picked up by young people but also by people with a young mindset, no matter what their age. So I feel that in a subtle way what I do has some political edge in terms of attitude.” The menswear’s eternal iconoclast #RafSimons roams far and wide in this conversation with his co-editor of 2003’s “The Fourth Sex”, curator Francesco Bonami (@thebonamist).
