Sterling Ruby Collaboration Parka AW2014

The Raf Simons x Sterling Ruby collaboration for AW2014 — Ruby's hand-painted, spray-painted, and manipulated fabrics combined with Simons' tailoring — produced garments that are simultaneously fine art and clothing. Sterling Ruby's California-born art practice, rooted in punk and hip-hop as much as fine art, found a perfect interlocutor in Simons. The parkas from this collection, with Ruby's gestural paint applications over structured anorak silhouettes, are among the most collectible Raf Simons pieces. Value: $5,000–$15,000.
