I've seem at least 3 versions of which I assume the earliest is Guidi, not sure about the one with white stitching or the flat soled ones.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

How do you guys think Rick Owens fits into the current zeitgeist? To me he's an avant garde designer, but as it comes to his designs, he doesnt follow trends or anything, right?
And how do you guys think he stays fresh all the time? Lately I get the feeling that he's just repeating his menswear season after season (since FW07 or something), with just minor changes.
His womanswear at the other hand seems to get more of a change in silhouet, but stays true to Rick Owens, you know? Or maybe thats just the colorpalette that he uses.
What you guys think?

i think there is something reliable and comforting about a designer who's found their voice and doesn't shift too much from season-to-season....just as Yohji could be counted on for the typical black blazer + trousers with minor detail adjustments , the same could probably be said w/ RO and his comfortable casuality in dusty tones. I hope he continues experimenting more w/ the tailoring side and branch out his Helmut Berger vision; his Neil Young is pretty much perfected at this point.

I was thinking as well that he is almost the brand himself, he is, but I mean his appearance and who he is (at least how he puts himself out there). Allthough, I read in an interview that he said something like he makes clothing for people with features that he doesn't have, but like to have.
Also, I kind of question sometimes if it's really that he can do just minor changes to existing designs because the are as great as they are already, or that it might be some kind of marketing thing. I met him a couple of times and twice he told me to go to his shop and check out some of his clothing, while I didn't even give the slightest suggestion for him to say something like that.
