A defining piece fromRaf Simons’landmark Autumn-Winter 1998/99 "Radioactivity" collection. This roll neck sweater encapsulates the designer’s early synthesis of punk, collegiate, and countercultural codes, rendered through a flared body and sleeves and an exaggerated, sculptural neck roll. The proportions feel deliberate and defiant, a quiet subversion of traditional menswear silhouettes that would become central to Simons’ visual language.
A true collector’s reference from one of fashion’s most influential runway presentations, Radioactivity, staged at Espace Moulin Rouge in Paris, helped define the formative years of Raf Simons’ practice. The collection cemented his reputation for merging youth culture with intellectual rigor, and remains a touchstone for late-1990s avant-garde menswear.
Condition notes: Tacking threads on inside portion of front neck roll have come undone; does not significantly affect wear.
