FASHION & ART: Raf Simons & Sterling Ruby: The New Bauhaus



While looking tv tonight I saw an interesting broadcast about how fashion designer Raf Simons was inspired by the work of the artist Sterling Ruby for creating his menswear collection for Fall/Winter 2014-15. Simons collaborated here with Sterling Ruby (the new Bauhaus). Below you will find inspiring photos from this collection. For additional information about them both, see the enclosed links below. 
More about the artist Sterling Ruby
Sterling Ruby, a multidisciplinary artist who makes urethane and bronze sculptures, hallucinatory color-field canvases and handmade ceramics, addresses the conflict between individual desire and social structure. And also the influence of institutional architecture, both literal and figurative on human behavior and psychology. For more information, see the enclosed links below.
