Fashion Week Spring 2009

Designer Raf Simmon’s opened his Spring show with a projection of Kiki de Montparnasse by photographer Man Ray—a subtle nod to this season's muse. The minimalist designer presented a streamlined, modern collection inspired by the 1920s and African tribal adornment, which was carried out through the use of fringe and earrings reminiscent of tribal body decoration. The latter is the big news for the label—a first-ever jewelry line in collaboration with the diamond experts at Damiani.
