          His bf (in the NYPD shirt) aka a former escort was all over me at G Lounge a few weeks ago.



          For a "kept" boy he doesn't dress that well.

          That's awesome. Lulz.

          That's not him in the NYPD shirt, though - the tats are all wrong.

            It's a 42 - too big.

            I feel like I'm in a Looney Tunes cartoon again, and AKA and Pnod are tiny versions with batwings hovering around my shoulders telling me to buy footwear.

                [quote user="philip nod"][quote user="bakla"][quote user="kira"]So, what do we think will happen if the rest of the fashionati discover
                the allure of all things Rick Owens and decide it's trendy? Will we be
                turned off by the co-opting of what was once an exclusive appreciative
                few? Will we be pissed off that the pieces we wanted never make it to
                sale? Will we look for another new brand that's "cooler?"


                I ask you, are you attracted to Rick Owens because it is not trendy? Do you think that if it became trendy as you say, that you will stop buying? I know that there is a psychological attraction to obtain things that others don't have nor can have or know about having. But what about buying it because it fits your style, your being? Do you think the clothing would change to support the new allure? Or would Rick stay on his path? I can see if there was a change in style, fit, fabric, overall aesthetic that perhaps it would not satisfy those needs any longer and then one would move onwards. As far as looking for another brand that is cooler...hmmm. Who determines what is cool and why are they being followed? I believed in pursuing what I like regardless of who else likes it or how they wear it, who they know, who i dont know...By all means I would not like to see anyone become a sell out so to speak, especially a designer, and accommodate only the pull. I feel that way about all artistic creations. I would have to say if Rick Owens stayed true to his own being as a designer, then I would stay true to buying as long as it continued to satisfy what I needed. That could change even without the fashionati discovering the allure. No?

                I'm not one of those people who tout that they have style over fashion. I appreciate fashion, because I like change. The very same reason we may or may not like a designer's new collection (operative word, 'new') can very well be because it's not new enough. In that sense, I follow fashion, as it is all about change. But I do prefer brands that are innovative and unique, which is why I tend to like lesser known brands. I like the sense of discovery.

                I'm attracted to Rick Owens because his perspective is fresh for me, and I do like the idea that it's not on everyone's body - I like innovation in design because it is new and innovative. But I didn't love him from the get-go - it wasn't until I saw his Exploder collection for women that I really saw the direction in his vision, and I became attracted to his ouvre as a whole and wanted to buy into the brand as a result. Of course, I'm not jumping on brands for the brands sake - there has to be something about the design that's appealing, regardless of what anyone else says. It has to speak to me personally.

                However, brands do lose their luster among various social sets (otherwise we wouldn't have this thread) but one way for me is when it's available on every corner,when a brand gets to a point of over exposure, my interest in it wanes. For examle: Hedi's Dior work continued to be beautiful, and I loved certain pieces but I could not disassociate the brand from the rabid following that he had, nor the oversaturation in the press, and all that became a part of the brand's image in my mind. So my once-intense love for the designer and the brand (which started in his YSL days) became a mere interest in a piece or two from time to time. In more recent seasons, I've loved Julius' draping for the past two years because it was so different, and no one else I knew was doing that, but now the look is being co-opted everywhere and by everyone from the new Helmut Lang to B.Son and I'm less keen on it. Going back further, Gaultier was amazing in the 80s, and his work has not lost any of the quality it seems, but it seems the fashion moment has moved on from him, for me. I find a piece or two of his that I like, but the rest of it doesn't strike that chord of fresh innovation anymore for me. But that's okay, because change is good - I love change in any case. For me my style is about adopting fashion for the pleasure of change. How I wear - and change -my style constantly, is my style.

                I don't know if that answers your question. I'm not sure it will even be an opinion people can identify with, but that's why I asked the Rick OWens question in the first place.
