"This is my revenge…my vicious revenge. I was always a fan, but I was never this great. This is what I wanted to be."

wow , that was pretty fuckin great . after i read it i went thru and looked at everything all over again and then the detailed shots while keeping in mind what was said . in the up close shots i saw that everything was still there and familiar , theres still panels over shorts and long pants , still xtra long sleeves on jackets and tailored blazers over cropped trousers w/ boots . my perception of the collection has changed for the better , i admit i like it a lil more now

I have to admit that review is total horseshit, just an old man trying to find something that definitely isn't there.. try wearing short shorts and some running shoes to a hardcore show and then tell people ur vicious, I would like to be 10 ft away to youtube that shit.. Nice review from a guy that has never been describing something that definitely isn't what the title indicates. i guess that's what reviews are anyways, just people that can't describing something that isn't while trying to make it something more than what it is.

Often times yes. Art that needs explanation lacks something visceral

i knew you'd warm to it... :)

also, interest1 - i pretty much agree with every single thing you wrote there. totally see how every piece can work (except fringes). i'm crushing on the mesh tanks and the jumpsuits - especially this one:



ps. upsilon - the singer in the most badass local HC band here wears straight-up daisy dukes and running shoes. nobody'd ever tell HIM he's not vicious.

^ I want that one, too.

But I do see how poom poom shorts ad Tina Turner fringe aren't very "Vicious."

It's telling how little of this review actually mentions the clothing.

and its definitely on point. the show was mesmerizing and kind of nauseating (the loudness, crazy pace, spinning platform), I don't remember anything about the clothes, I had to recap everything from my camera.

kunk, i think your statement is very telling about this collection as a whole..

oh for fucks sake... the first words from a Rick Owens runway review:

First there was Raf Simons’s show on the outskirts of Paris....

has there ever been a single post or article by her that doesn't jerk off Raf?

[cjbreed]

and the entire raf collection was straight wtf

More photos of the S/S 14 collection via Gallery Aesthete are up at SZ Mag.

im kinda liking this more w/ each new image of the garments close up . still those shoes :( no maam

I like that this is a REAL spring/SUMMER collection. So many designers still rely on outwear or heavy layering to make impactful runway looks for SS collections. I like the overall look of a streamlined silhouette, long slim tunic or jacket with single off center zipper and slim pants. As a collection, it does seem to be lacking in ideas compared to most of Rick's collections which usually propose or refine several new shapes/patterns/materials. But hey, not every collections can be mind blowing. The quietness of the clothes (for Rick at least) with the craziness of the band provides a kind of surreal juxtaposition that I really enjoy. The SZ pics where you can see the band going berserk in the background behind each model are pretty hilarious.
