Such collaborations are back in earnest but there's a clear frontrunner. Let's hear it fors American all purpose hotshot Ruby Sterling . He has teamed up with Belgian designer Raf Simons for around six years now and between them they've produced some very convincing challenges to men’s fashion. Simons also works with Roger Hiorns the English Turner Prize nominee who back in 2008 covered the entire interior of a London council flat with a layer of deep blue copper-sulphate crystals. And it works both ways: Simons is a major collector of both artists' work. Here’s Simons and Sterling’s latest runway show.
