Raf Simons reconstructs the trench.

All images of Raf Simons A/W 10. These is just a select view of the collection to demonstrate the break down of the trench coat. Simons takes the skirt of the coat and makes it an individual piece to be applied to any jacket, the feminine skirt figure is kept masculine with the slim fit basic black trouser and a pair of polished, angular smart shoes. He also puts all the individual components, the skirt, the shoulder piece and the waist band together but at different layers and broken up by the traditional trench belt. The brown leather waist belt on men creates a silhouette which continues from his SS10 collection like below which is also a recognized feminine style kept masculine by the sharp tailoring. I think this is definitely something which will be seen alot more and could add a whole new shape to some ill fitting blazers you have. I will try it out some time and take a photo.
