WSJ spent some time with designer, Raf Simons, at his home in Antwerp, Belgium. “Designed in 1968—Simons thinks it’s kismet that it’s the year he was born—by a Belgian couple who imported Modernist furniture, the two-story, open-floor-plan apartment is a primer in mid-century Modernism. A longtime collector of mid-century furniture, Simons knew he would buy it the minute he saw the wenge-wood floating staircase, built-in cabinets and floor-to-ceiling sliding-glass windows.”

In anticipation of autumn we collectively look toward sourcing idyllic layering pieces, met with the task of finding garments that are as practical as they are stylish. Autumn/Winter 2011 sees British label Larke release their grey wool herringbone overshirt, which we suggest confidently meets the aforementioned criteria. The shirt offers great insulation thanks to the fabrication choice; a dense yet soft wool that needs little in the way of decoration, simply finished with a contrasting charcoal band that rises from the hem, along with a series of dark buttons providing a subtle accent to the light body of the garment. Now available at The Great Divide. -jr
