Belgian fashion designer Raf Simons is shuttering his eponymous brand after 27 years.
The 54-year-old, who launched the label in 1995, announced via Instagram on Monday (local time) that he has decided to close the company after nearly three decades in business.
In a statement, Simons confirmed the label's Spring/Summer 2023 collection will be its last.
"The Spring/Summer 2023 collection is the conclusion of an extraordinary 27-year journey and the final season of the Raf Simons fashion brand," he wrote. "I lack the words to share how proud I am of all that we have achieved."
To conclude, Simons thanked his team and fans for their ongoing support.
"I am grateful for the incredible support from my team, from my collaborators, from the press and buyers, from my friends and family, and from our devoted fans and loyal followers. Thank you all, for always believing in our vision and for believing in me," he added.
Previously, Simons has served as the creative director at Jil Sander, Christian Dior and Calvin Klein.
He was named co-creative director of Prada in April 2020 in partnership with Miuccia Prada.
