Hello, welcome to our shop,

Here is available for purchase a Raf Simons Joy Division Bauhaus Peter Saville Handpainted Fishtail Parka

Amazing fishtail parka made of a soft overdyed cotton twill fabric. One of his most iconic pieces ever made in his entire career, the latest encapsulates perfectly all the major components of early Raf's work: youth, music and subcultures.

The outerwear piece features a few legendary graphics from British post-punk culture, with hand painted images done on the parka by various English artists. We find notably; the iconic logo done in red of the legendary band Bauhaus, a Peter Saville collage screenprinted on a large squared canvas cotton patche sewn on the back, as well as, Joy Division's most famous song title from 1980 "Love Will Tear Us Apart" painted in the middle between the two others images, the Factory Records label "F" logo on the left sleeve, the green logo of Joy Division's 1988 "Substance" compilation album on the left pocket and the typo of their 2nd and last album "Closer" released in 1980, handpainted on the hem right side.

Form-fitting hood. 2-way front closure system with a zip and snap buttons. 2 front patch pockets and 2 front welt pockets. Drawstrings at the hood, waist and hem of the coat. One additional welt pocket on the inside. Straight fit. Black, Dark grey blueish colour. As it gets harder and harder to find, this one comes with its original liner.

This parka is worn on one of the 4 opening looks of the show, in a mod-inspired fit that was basically one of the main source of inspiration for this 1980's-influenced collection. It has notably been featured in countless editorials and magazines.

The latest shows perfectly how strong and impactful the work of Raf is, with this crucial link made between fashion and music, resulting in one of the most legendary and influential garments ever made in menswear history and popular, streetwear culture with his MA-1 bombers or oversized hoodies for example. An important, rare and cult piece of contemporary fashion history. Huge sentimental value. Strongly, very recommended.
