Who’s That Guy? Raif Adelberg Hits the Mainstream

Beginning with a luxury cashmere collection for men in the fall of 2011, which was quickly scooped up by Bergdorf Goodman NY, Adelberg moved on to a women’s collection for Spring 2014 that was picked up by Barneys. There he now sells oversized punk tie-dye cardigans in blues and reds, soft leather shorts with gently ruched waistbands and V-neck cashmere sweaters in openwork knits.

Prices are eye-watering at around $1000 a piece (duties and the like not included), but having opened a pop-up shop in Vancouver this past Christmas, I’m hoping he’ll do the same for his Fall 2014 collection, the eerily titled “Ghost in the Machine.” He tells Fashion that the theme is reminiscent of how he currently feels living on Bowen Island, BC.
