Filmed at the Barenzaal and C-mine facilities in Genk, Belgium, the season&#8217;s short film presented, according to the show, &#8220;an equilibrium, contrast between disparate elements, unexpected similarities and parallels, a love for and loyalty to particular themes, ideas, inspirations. Juxtapositions and contradictions, with a quiet logic,&#8221; seen in a lineup of oversized outerwear, enveloping knits, and more. Read on below for the key takeaways from the Raf Simons Fall 2021 collection.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Take simons&#8217; word<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18195 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/03\/Screen-Shot-2021-03-24-at-5.49.33-PM.png?w=1024\" alt=\"Raf Simons\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" data-gz_credit=\"Credit: Courtesy of Raf Simons\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There was no mood board in sight for the Fall 2021 season; as it turns out, Simons was influenced not by images but rather by a series of words and their meanings. Per the show&#8217;s notes, they are\u2014&#8221;without hierarchy or intentional sequence&#8221;\u2014as follows: <em>A<\/em>t<em>araxia <\/em>(&#8220;a state of freedom from emotional disturbance and anxiety. Peace of Mind. Emotional tranquility.&#8221;),\u00a0<em>equanimity <\/em>(&#8220;calmness of mind or temper. Composure.&#8221;),\u00a0<em>dichotomy <\/em>(&#8220;division into two parts or classifications, esp. when they are sharply distinguished or opposed.&#8221;),\u00a0<em>synchronicity <\/em>(&#8220;an apparently meaningful coincidence in time of two or more similar or identical events that are causally unrelated.&#8221;),\u00a0<em>allegiance <\/em>(&#8220;support for and loyalty to a particular group, person, or belief.&#8221;), and\u00a0<em>devotion <\/em>(&#8220;an affection, admiration, or great love.&#8221;).<\/p>\n<h3>2. The soundtrack may sound familiar<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"RAF SIMONS &amp;ndash; AUTUMN WINTER 2021 SHOW\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/527832610?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s no secret that Simons is a longtime fan of Kraftwerk, the German band widely considered as innovators and pioneers of electronic music. As a teenager growing up in Neerpelt, Simons found solace in music, and, specifically, Kraftwerk\u2019s 1978 album, <i>The Man-Machine<\/i>. Since then, Simons has woven their tunes into his collections in more ways than one: for his Fall 1998 &#8220;Radioactivity&#8221; collection, which was soundtracked by the 1974 hit\u00a0&#8220;Autobahn,&#8221; models wore red shirts and black ties in an homage to his beloved album cover; this season, a custom track, repeating the word &#8220;radioactivity,&#8221; plays over the speakers.<\/p>\n<h3>3. This fall, The Cocoon Coat reigns supreme<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18190 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/03\/1-raf-simons.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Raf Simons\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-gz_credit=\"Credit: Courtesy of Raf Simons\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Nearly every model that rounded the runway appeared in larger-than-life outerwear, such as quilted A-line jackets and puffy, bubble-like vests\u2014often worn together, along with roomy, relaxed trousers. &#8220;The re-scaling of garments suggests different form language and new purposes, as does their rematerialization,&#8221; said the press release. Consider it a sure sign that come next fall, anything micro will be far from sight\u2014at least if Simons has his way.<\/p>\n<h3>4. don&#8217;t skimp on the accessories<\/h3>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18191 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/03\/4-raf-simons.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Raf Simons\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" data-gz_credit=\"Credit: Courtesy of Raf Simons\" \/><\/h3>\n<p>Eye-candy accessories abounded on the Fall 2021 runway in the form of dangly heart-shaped rings and earrings, gloves galore, and skeleton hand bangles that tightly clasped models&#8217; upper arms.<\/p>\n<h3>5. AT RAF SIMONS, THE BEAUTY EQUATION IS ANYTHING BUT BORING<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18184 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/03\/3-raf-simons.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"raf simons\" width=\"1024\" height=\"767\" data-gz_credit=\"Credit: Courtesy of Raf Simons\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The focus may have been on the silhouettes, but one couldn&#8217;t help but steal a glance at the season&#8217;s striking above the neck formula: washes of pastel eyeshadow courtesy of makeup artist <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/dior-cruise-2021-beauty-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Peter Philips<\/a> were shown alongside Anthony Turner-masterminded slicked-back ringlets, dip-dyed bangs, and fire-engine red lengths that made the case for matching one&#8217;s hair to their pants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26633,"featured_media":18197,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[17,15,16,95],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.5 (Yoast SEO v20.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Raf Simons Fall 2021: Everything You Need to Know<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Everything you need to know about the Raf Simons Fall 2021 men&#039;s and women&#039;s lineup, from the designer&#039;s source of inspiration to the one trend that we&#039;ll be seeing everywhere come fall.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/raf-simons-fall-2021\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Everything You Need to Know About Raf Simons&#039;
