Rick Owens

Re: RICK OWENS

The shearlings are very well executed, it looks like some of the elements from the womens shearlings have made it to the mens and I am thrilled.

Agreed. There's some outstanding jackets (like the shearling posted), but tailoring has never been Rick's forte, and here it looks even more awkward than usual. Not feeling the drop crotch 3/4 trousers either. Some pieces are feeling somewhat "futuristic" (the jacket with white piping, the looser fitting shearling right next to it and the white piped shearling), which feels like an odd mix (to me at least) with Rick.

I'm really digging the long zippered coat though, cool collar. And that hair hat is just fucking awesome (the Helmut Lang mohawk hoodie remains one of my most wanted pieces ever).

[quote user="Raw Edge"]I really like the look with the full length zipup jacket and hood/beanie. Though I haven't yet seen an RO jacket thats my style, I always like they way he designs hoods/zip up jackets.

I agree. And his leathers, too: I really like how he shapes them. I consider the tailored suiting stuff not exactly his forte, and the body-distorting fashions are an extreme representation of his idea of modern silhouettes, propelling the ideas though not necessarily to be worn literally. Kinda like couture runway looks that are for show only.

But the dropped crotches and layered draping are already evident in less extreme proportions in many of the drkshdw pieces from him from the last two years, and his Berlin jeans in particular are a wearable version of the dropped crotch trous. And I really enjoy wearing them.

edit: /\ I seem to have been channeling your post above, albeit from a different direction!

Re: RICK OWENS



It almost looks like that white piping jacket is actually the reversed of the one next to it?

That shearling coat has an amazing collar. That's one thing that I gotta hand to Rick on the regular, he plays with collars and closures and comes up with really new styles that are just plain amazing.

Hear hear on them dumping the freakish model hahahaha

Re: RICK OWENS



I don't know why, but this all looks very awkward to me...awkward the way his womenswear tends to look. I think I agree with drexl about the tailoring. [72]

I LOVE the hair hat though....[73]

Yep. I also think the shearling is awkward. And given his failure at the shearling we jumped on on YOOX, I'm not expecting this to be much better. I do not completely agree about tailoring, some of his blazers are really nice - but it's true that his sizing and cutting can be sloppy. Anyway, not impressed with this, hmm....

Re: RICK OWENS



I'm going to try to take a picture later, because I need some advice. It's a very cool piece--basically a midnight blue waistcoat that is long in the front and cropped to waist length in the back, with attached navy sheer wool sleeves. I'm still trying to decide if I'm too short for it though, as the length really can't be tailored. [85]

Was cheap as chips though, so I'd like to make it work!

I'm so sad to see he decided to switch up the model this time. I miss that creepy weirdo, somehow this guy is just too normal looking.

That said, god damn, this collection is so awesome. The coats and shearlings/leathers are incomprehensibly dope, I want one of everything.

Also, is it just me or do his combat boots have a slimmer toe this time? I'm hoping so.

Add me to the "missing creepy weirdo" camp. I loved that guy.

yeah the old rick boy is for sure the slickest model of all time ever. i dont mind this dude, but it is a little disheartening.

i like the collection a lot. even though some of the styling kinda flirts with an almost like material boy gay scene kid thing a tiny bit or like lil wayne (no?)...but overall its pretty sloth and rad.
