SIMONS, Raf. Corpo, Body Accessory Furniture, 7 Cupboards.

(Antwerp): MoMu – Fashion Museum Antwerp, 2025.  First edition.  Softcover.  21cm by 14.7cm.  [28]-pages.  Published to accompany the exhibition Fashion & Interiors: A Gendered Affair at MoMu Antwerp in 2025. The zine features previously unpublished photographs by Simons, along with stills and inspirational materials that delve into the intersection of fashion and furniture design.  The work revisits the designer’s 1991 graduation project from the Higher Institute for Visual Communication and Design in Genk.  The project comprised seven unique ‘accessory cabinets,’ each reflecting aspects of the human form and anatomy. The pieces—titled Protection, Beauty, Female Body, Male Body, Ornament, X-Ray, and Second Skin—explore the relationship between the human body and product structure. This work laid the foundation for Simons’ later ventures in fashion, highlighting his interest in the body’s interaction with design elements.  A very good copy in stapled wrappers, housed in a ziploc bag.
