Raf Simons and Sterling Ruby have teamed up with photographer Willy Vanderperre and Simons’s commercial director Charlotte Arts to launch a new online pop-up retail concept, titled IN THE NAME OF, which debuts Tuesday.
From now until Sept. 1, each Monday will see a new group of curated pieces from the Raf Simons/Sterling Ruby collection go on sale for one week only.
The first pieces online are a black denim workwear shirt (€270) and a pair of splatter print jeans (€490).
While temporary fashion store locations are an established trend in the world of luxury retail, the sort of ephemeral web-presence proposed by RAF SIMONS and Sterling is rarer, especially with brands and e-commerce sites fighting hard to stake out their ground.
