Christopher Raeburn’s new collection is a forensically focused criticism of the way the fashion system operates.
London designer Christopher Raeburn will tomorrow launch a collection of fabulous old clothes. Entitled Raefound, the collection consists of 43 pieces of unissued military surplus items available in a full range of sizes that were originally produced for ‘agencies’—shall we say—across Europe, and which have been sourced by Raeburn.
Basically what you are buying here—should you choose to—is not Raeburn’s design but his curation. Unlike his past Raeused or the work of Andrea Rosso at, the only intervention in these pieces is their selection, the addition of Raefound patches as a mark of provenance, and the quality of the garments themselves. The world is drowning in old clothes. The production of new clothes hurts the world. The maths should be simple.
