THE CAPSULE COLLECTION DESIGNED BY THE FASHION DESIGNER FOR THE ENGLISH BAND HAS FINALLY A RELASE DATE

Raf Simons x The xx is no longer just a viral post on Instagram. The collaboration between the Belgian designer and the British band is officially a reality. The background: on November 25, on the official account of Simons, the shots taken by photographer Willy Vanderperre are posted, depicting the trio of musicians with a t-shirt and the letters RS. Unequivocal. Too bad that no other information was given. Until a few hours ago.

In fact, it is now possible to know the release date, what is the capsule collection and, above all, the occasion. Let’s start with the latter. The collaboration was born to celebrate 10 years since the first year of The xx’s first LP xx. A product that has launched them all over the world as leaders of indie music. The garments made consist of: t-shirts, caps, pins and limited edition patches.
