I've looked through it at the London store and yes I have to say it's Je Bien + more for a lower price. Some images of michele and architecture during their trip to Tunisia(?) and images from the newer runway shows.

10 styling guide from RICK OWENS

1.
I'm not good at subtlety. If you're not going to be discreet and quiet, then just go all the way and have the balls to shave off your eyebrows, bleach your hair, and put on some big bracelets.


2.
Working out is modern couture. No outfit is going to make you look or feel as good as having a fit body. Buy less clothing and go to the gym instead.

3.
I've lived in Paris for six years, and I'm sorry to say that the Ugly American syndrome still exists. Sometimes you just want to say "Stop destroying the landscape with your outfit." Still, from a design standpoint, I'm tempted to redo the fanny pack. I look at it as a challenge—it's something to react against.

4.
When a suit gets middle-of-the-road it kind of loses me—it has to be sharp and classic and almost forties.

5.
Hair and shoes say it all. Everything in between is forgivable as long as you keep it simple. Trying to talk with your clothes is passive-aggressive.


remind me of this: how he put a lot of thought on hair :p



6.
There's something a little too chatterboxy about color. Right now I want black, for its sharpness and punctuation.

7.
Jean-Michel Frank, the thirties interior and furniture designer, supposedly had 40 identical double-breasted gray flannel suits. He knew himself and is a wonderful example of restraint and extravagance.

8.
I hate rings and bracelets on men. I'm not a fan of man bags, or girl bags either—or even sunglasses. I don't like fussy accessories. Isn't it more chic to be free? Every jacket I make has interior pockets big enough to store a book and a sandwich and a passport.

9.
With layering, sometimes the more the better. When you layer a lot of black you're like a walking Louise Nevelson sculpture, and that's pretty attractive. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable is also one of the most attractive things you can do.

10.
It's funny—whenever someone talks about rules, I just want to break them. I recoil from the whole idea of rules.

Q&A interview
Rick Owens: A Man And His Monument

[Zenith]

So I took out the shoulder pads out of my Frankenstein's monster blazer and replaced them with smaller ones, the ones inside the blazer are three pads glued together. The cut still has that slightly lurched look due to the cut and the high arms holes, but it just looks so much better now.

[eat me]

^ you should post before & after pics in the DIY forum. If you do, please let me know.

[Zenith]

I'll look for the before shots. Hopefully I have them somewhere

[kunk75]

i did the same, big improvement

^ I attribute half of my love handles to these. Sweets and tight fitting leather jackets shouldn't be offered in the same room

[Faust]

I have a cupful at my house just for kicks. Took a lot of persuasion to keep my daughter away from them.

So, I was lugging the fucking book for half the day across Manhattan yesterday. Damn you, Rick! Almost broke my shoulder.

Has anyone seen this sneaker design before?
