Raf Simons Opens Flagship in Tokyo and Second store in Osaka
In full Simons style, not only does he open a flagship store located in Aoyama, he opens a second store in Osaka. The 110 square meter Tokyo space on Kotto Dori, the Aoyama store has been covered with distorted wallpaper created by L.A. based artist Sterling Ruby with the intention of creating a negative vs. positive configuration.
Sterling Ruby, who is famously known for bleaching fabric and covering sculptures with it, has used a similar technique to 650 meters of canvas, which was then photographed many times and the negatives of the film were then turned into wallpaper prints. The treated fabric was not wasted as it was re-used to make the fixtures and boxes for the display of garments. The negative paints splatters also align themselves with some of Raf Simons older prints used in his collections.
