Raf Simons collaborated with Saville for his autumn/winter 2003 menswear collection, drawing on record sleeves from the Factory orbit. Unknown Pleasures appeared alongside artwork for other records.
The knit photographed here makes the lines part of the garment’s texture. It is a useful reminder that the design’s fashion life runs deeper than a print on a basic band shirt.
