## Summary

Black mesh short-sleeve t-shirt featuring a sheer knit construction and distressed raw-edge hems.

## Description

Many of the pieces from “Radioactivity” derived their narrow, futuristic cuts from the New Wave music scene, specifically pioneering electronic artists like John Foxx, Kraftwerk and Ryuichi Sakamoto, all of whom employed rigid, traditional tailoring to express conformity and a looming monoculture brought about by rapidly advancing technology. Even when Simons employed heavy leather trousers and exposed zippers on his biker coats, he left the silhouettes almost too rigid to breathe, and at other times covered models’ faces with blank moto helmets. The presentation also contained callbacks to the punks of the early ‘70s, expressed in spiderweb knits and iconography of the movement. This raw edge top is one of numerous mesh shirts released within the collection. As Raf tops from the era tend to be, it’s cut slim and is supposed to cling to the wearer. Condition: 9/10. No significant flaws. Tagged size: 46 Shoulder: 17.5in Pit to pit: 17.5in Length: 25in Sleeve: 9in
