I-D Rafzine - I-D Magazine 2023

For Spring 2023, i-D collaborated with photographer Willy Vanderperre and stylist Olivier Rizzo on a special Rafzine, a separate publishing project within The Timeless Issue, celebrating the legacy of Raf Simons as he shutters his namesake label after almost thirty years of groundbreaking and era-defining work, and following i-D collaborating with him on his final show in London in October 2022.  

Across those years – and in his work at Jil Sander, Christian Dior, Calvin Klein and Prada – Willy and Olivier have remained collaborators, friends and confidants of Raf. To celebrate the legacy of his label, Willy and Olivier delve into their personal archive of Raf clothing, including prototypes, show pieces and garments that never entered into mass production, providing an intimate look at their careers together, then laid out alongside images Willy and Olivier have shot of Raf’s work in the pages of i-D over the years.

Rafzine is a special edition, separate zine, printed on newsprint.
