“There were hearts and broken hearts,” RafSimons tells AlexanderFury
show, he got in touch,” says Simons of Lynch. “He’s very pleased. Otherwise he wouldn’t do that. And we should meet now, I think. And he thinks so, too. But the thing is, David is also partly in another world. He invited me, but then I couldn’t do it. I also think maybe I wasn’t ready for it.” Perhaps now is the time. Simons still hasn’t met Kraftwerk either, FYI.
Simons’ time at Calvin Klein is remarkable not for its brevity but its bravery, and the depth and richness of the imagination he brought to the behemoth brand. Ultimately, the Möbius-like complexities of corporate America were not for him: his June 2019 own-label show, for, was a comment on it, a shift away from the quiet, couture-tinged offering of January.
“I want to know more,” Simons says. He’s talking about those new generations, his new audiences. New fans. “I want to understand it better,” he continues – ‘it’ meaning the youth of today, grouped as a collective noun, which perhaps ‘it’ simply can’t be. But Simons is nevertheless curious about how young people, as an entity, think and feel, about what draws them to his work, and indeed why.
Simons is interested in the way they operate, he says. “And the way they... ‘consume’ is the wrong word... the way they deal with the things that we might have done differently is not clear to me yet,” he says. “I don’t even know if it will ever be clear, because that is what makes one generation [distinct from] another generation.” He stops. Thinks. “I am curious. I know how my generation processes this but I do not know how an 18-year-old processes this.
