Many of the pieces from “Radioactivity” derived their narrow, futuristic cuts from the New Wave music scene, specifically pioneering electronic artists like John Foxx and Kraftwerk and Ryuichi Sakamoto, all whom employed rigid, traditional tailoring to express conformity and a looming monoculture being brought about by rapidly advancing technology. Even when Simons employed heavy leather trousers and exposed zippers on his biker coats, he left the silhouettes almost too rigid to breathe, and at other times covered models’ faces with blank moto helmets.
This piece utilizes the season’s cropped and narrow cut, and features a spiderweb knit atop the wool base. This unique knitting pattern surfaced several times throughout the collection.
