"032c Workshop/Joerg Koch is pleased to present an anti-retrospective by photographer Willy Vanderperre that activates 20 years of Raf Simons collections. Using archival pieces from across all of the label’s collections, Vanderperre channels the energy of Simons’ design practice through a series of archetypes drawn from youth subcultures. Organized to appear as a schoolhouse locker, the installation unravels a collaboration between designer and photographer that feeds from the iconography and dissonance of adolescence in provincial Belgium."

With the Raf Simons x Sterling Ruby collection hitting retailers for fall, I took the opportunity to look back at this interview from 032c's 20th issue. The article revolves around Ruby's work at the time and touches on his collaboration with Simons on the brand's Tokyo flagship in 2005. With an approximate reading time of 21 minutes, it's worth a look for some deeper insights into the artist's outlook and approach to his various works.
