    Is rick channelling nosferatu with the narrow, raised shoulders on his blazers and some of his coats?

    "He described this initial impetus as like discovering that they both were looking at the same intriguing specific tropical fish, with attempts to understand it leading to a huge ferocious formalism he characterizes as a shark that leapt out of the tank."

      wait.... what? there's a rick owens documentary? why did I never hear about this, and, more importantly, where can I watch it online?

      (excuse the double post)

        Some pictures of the book:

        Looks quite nice. I'm curious as to if it's images only or if it contains any essays.

          my copy of the book just arrived, its more or less just images plus a little type here and there and i am pretty sure the first bit is just a reprint of the old book but i only saw it (the old book) a few times so i could be wrong, there is definately some cross over. theres a little section dedicated to Michele towards the end and images of the walkthroughs from some of the recent shows to close the book which is a nice touch i think. Im not normally one to spend alot on a single book but for £55 this was well worth it

              i dont know, amazon told me i wouldnt have it till the 10th so maybe a slip up or maybe they got their stock early? on the other hand maybe the UK is just tiny and so the post is quicker.

              Just maybe rick singled me out personally to recieve an early copy as an apology for not giving me a job. maybe.

                £55? How come I see £72? Also, doesn't seem too exciting, but I think I'll pull the trigger sooner or later.

                  /\ It's reviewed in StyleZeitgeist magazine ;-) Basically, it's a nice alternative to J'Bien Descendu I Can't Spell for much cheaper.

                    bingo. as for the price i guess because i preordered ages back and amazon give you whatever was the lowest price since placing the order. Its a nice visual item solely and if you wanted you could probably track down every image on google.

                    If you only buy one fashion book this year buy the chalayan one, it'll fit on the shelf for a start.

                      speaking of which, we should get the shipment today, I was putting reading it off until I could get a copy for myself.

                                Yeah, I'm aware that it's a pretty common problem (especially in hog wash), still a cause for complaint though. Doesn't mean I'll stop wearing Rick, under repair as we speak.
