Raf Simons & David Sims - Isolated heroes - 2000

Isolated heroes is a rare and very sought after publication of a collaborative effort of fashion photographer David Sims and menswear designer Raf Simons (now creative director of Calvin Klein, previously Dior). Both Sims and Simons were looking for a certain kind of purity in their imagery, and as a result, none of the featured 'models' were professionals. These striking images elevate and celebrate a certain honesty found in unimposing, normal people. As images, they are captivating because they circumvent all the usual trappings of promotional work. They show a subdued and introverted beauty. The photographs were taken in 1999 and feature Simons spring/summer collection of 2000.

Condition: As new.
