Raf Simons AW18Photography J’Dee Allin

Raf Simons is returning to Paris this season

After a trio of New York shows, the Belgian designer is coming back for SS19

After Gucci yesterday revealed it would be presenting its SS19 show in September in Paris rather than Milan, Raf Simons has today announced that he will also present his next collection in the City of Lights. 

Following his appointment as chief creative officer at Calvin Klein, Simons has presented his collections on New York’s menswear schedule instead of Paris – where he first began showing. Now, after a trio of collections in NYC, the designer is going back to the origins of the label. Why? No reason, other than taking the brand in a different direction. 

With the show set to take place on June 20, little else is known about what to expect. With Simons bitten by the Paris bug, does it mean that we will next see Calvin Klein head there for its SS19 collection in September too?
