Interview: Raf Simons Tears Up Tokyo
Raf Simons' two flagships boutiques opened in Tokyo and Osaka back in September, but he only just made it to the island nation's capital to celebrate. Amid the eager fans and well-wishers, JC Report grabbed a few moments with Simons, who told us about his stores' layouts, as well as his own lifestyle essentials and industrial design inspirations.
JC Report: What do you think about your shop, and tonight?
