HISTORY
From Spring/Summer 2009 under Raf Simons, this knit references Leonard Cohen’s lyric “There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in,” rendered in an all-over graphic text motif. The season explored poetic minimalism through typography and sculptural tailoring, continuing Simons’ longstanding dialogue with music, literature, and visual culture. Presented on the runway, the piece reflects his conceptual approach to knitwear within the broader narrative of text and image.
