Tom Ford Launches Atelier d’Orient: Four More Private Blends

MRPORTER.COM + Raf Simons
Published May 28, 2013As part of a series of exclusive design partnerships this summer, MR PORTER.COM just unveiled its partnership with Raf Simons on an exclusive floral capsule collection.

I do love the shorts and printed navy bomber jacket though. The nod to the Cobain era comes through strong once again…remember the Nirvana audio extracts from the SS13 film by Pierre Debusschere?
