Raf Simons joins Prada as co-Creative Director
官宣:Raf Simons加入Prada集团,出任联合创意总监
来源:Cpp-Luxury
日前,Prada集团在米兰举办了新闻发布会,宣布RafSimons将加入集团,与Miuccia Prada合作,任职联合创意总监,参与Prada品牌的男女装设计。
该任命将于2020年4月1日起正式生效,双方传闻数月的合作至此终于落定。Prada表示与Raf签订的这份合约“永久生效,没有终止日期”。
Raf Simons的才能有目共睹,并且在男女装的设计方面都有着丰富的经验,先后在Jil Sander、Christian Dior、Calvin Klein等品牌任职创意总监,还拥有自己的同名男装品牌。
Prada和Raf早在2005年就已相识,且一直惺惺相惜。2016年,在接受《system》采访时,双方也提到了彼此尊重、良性竞争。Simons曾说,“如果Miuccia能做一季Raf Simons的服装,然后我在纽约为Marc Jacobs做一季,然后Marc再为Prada做一季服装,于我、于观众都将是一件令人兴奋的事情。”
双方的合作在行业内可以说是一次变革,这也是Prada集团首次接受外部设计师参与创意与决策。Simons在此前的采访中还提到,他认为“时尚行业正在停止探索自己的可能,但它应该再次变得更加解放”。
考虑到目前新冠疫情的影响,原定于5月在日本发布的度假系列将推迟。而双方联手后推出的首个系列将于今年9月在米兰亮相。
Raf Simons has joined Prada as co-creative director,effective April 1, 2020. Together with Miuccia Prada, he will share equalresponsibilities, designing the women’s and men’s collections for the Italianpowerhouse. The contract does not include any involvement with Miu Miu.
Announced today at a press conference in Milan, the newpartnership is sure to send shockwaves through the industry. Miuccia Prada isnot only one of fashion’s great auteurs, but also its most successfulbusinesswoman. Simons is a cultishly followed designer of menswear who’s had astring of important womenswear appointments at brands on both sides of theAtlantic: Jil Sander, Christian Dior, and Calvin Klein.
“I’m extremely happy to start this new phase, it’scertainly going to be extremely exciting… We like each other, we respect eachother, and we’ll see if we go somewhere,” Prada said at the press conference.
This from Simons: “I’m very pleased to announce ourpartnership on Prada, a brand I’ve been interested in my whole life… I’m notclosing my own business, I always look for new challenges in my life… Mr.Bertelli approached me right after my exit from Calvin Klein.”
Prada and her husband Patrizio Bertelli, CEO of the PradaGroup, have known Simons since at least 2005, when Simons signed on at JilSander, which was majority owned by the Prada Group. (By all reports Simons hada strong relationship with Bertelli.)
In a 2016 interview with System Magazine, the designersdiscussed their mutual respect and the healthy competition that exists betweenthem. “For me,” Simons said, “I would be excited if Miuccia would do the RafSimons brand for a season, and then I would do a season for Marc Jacobs in NewYork, and Marc would do Prada; I think the audience would be totally excited bythat.”
Prada and Simons are now officially working together. It’sa unique arrangement. There are few examples of designer founders splittingduties with another creative of such high profile. But there’s reason tobelieve it could work.
Later on in that interview, Simons said, “I think that thefashion business has recently stopped exploring its own possibilities; itshould become much more liberated once again.” Prada’s response? “I totallyagree. I really think that’s true.”
A Prada resort show scheduled for May in Japan has beenpostponed due to the coronavirus. The fruits of Prada and Simons’s newrelationship will debut on the runway at Prada’s spring 2021 women’s show inMilan in September.
