Raf Simons SS1998 "Black Palms" Runway Lurex Tank Top

About the Item

Raf Simons’ spring 1998 “Black Palms" collection represented a swift pivot from his previous work, which merely implied subversion via his off-kilter tailoring of prep clothing, and the leering models who donned the schoolboy garments. “Black Palms” presented no such pretexts of civility, fully embracing punk culture of the late ‘70s. It was most directly influenced by the Sex Pistols, however the razor slim button down shirts, sheer mohairs, slashed back tops, and fishnet weaves offered a less ostentatious nod toward New York’s heroin chic punks — Richard Hell, Johnny Thunders, Lou Reed, and the like. For the season’s lookbook, Raf pushed the theme forward with a makeshift LP, which featured a book and postcards inside, consisting of candid shots of the models. This top appears in the runway’s closing look, and is made with a thin glittering lurex fabric. Like many of the season’s tanks, it’s made with a stretchy cotton blend, intended to cling tight to the wearer. We are pleased to present this piece in what appears to be its first documented appearance online Condition: 9/10.
