The heartfelt post revealed that spring 2023 was the fashion brand’s final season, “The Spring Summer 2023 collection is the conclusion of an extraordinary 27 year journey and the final season of the Raf Simons fashion brand. I lack the words to share how proud I am of all that we have achieved. I am grateful for the incredible support from my team, from my collaborators, from the press and buyers, from my friends and family, and from our devoted fans and loyal followers. Thank you all, for believing in our vision and for believing in me.” At the top of his post, he included ‘Memory Wear 1995’, the year his label debuted, and the names of his parents, Alda and Jacques.
