RICK OWENS : a tone poem to the women's fall line

for a man to do both genders so well,

it's kind of amazing.

-

rick's early adopters were women who understood how to take his more extreme work,

mix it into their wardrobes,

and use the edge to individuate, not isolate, themselves.

-

now, with his work in fur,

there's a "ball it up and go" quality that his leathers had,

yet a luxe quality that is new.

-

it's modern, yet old world.

-

-

huh.

realize i just wallowed in the fur and leather end of his line,

while there is so much more to it.

-

but i think there is a subversion to working proudly in the medium

that speaks to him clearly as a personality.

these are pieces not for show,

but to be handled,

worn,

taken out to challenge the environment and the world.

-

plus,

i loves me some fuzzy pretty things.

-

I KNOW!
