I also wonder if the choice of angry facial expressions were really ideal. I've heard a lot of debate about that one, and many people feel that the models may appear to be caricatures of "the angry black woman."Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

Was at the show. This shit was off the hook. The collection is called vicious. This was. On every level. I felt a post orgasmic need for a cigarette after. And I was a refreshing slap in the face of the presumed rules of fashion. No skinny girls. Hardly any white girls. Tons of emotion and empowerment. Everything still looked amazing. No shit.
Case closed. PM sent.Hi. I like your necklace. - It's actually a rape whistle, but the whistle part fell off.

Sharing a space wherein all the movement and sound and vibration envelops you like an avalanche will make even the dumbest show (seem) exciting. This explains Riverdance.

People will of course try to surmise his show was for X, Y, Z, being it race, body image, stomping, etc but really it is all of those things, and more. He is brilliant in that he knows that the choices he made can be interpreted different ways, cause debate, etc. The reality of his decision doesn't really matter. As a great teacher once told me–– "the last person you want to ask about the meaning of a poem is the poet..."
Not that those shoes were poetic.
Though his clothes, to me, have always had that ability–– to be interpreted in different ways. Now it has perhaps been less about the clothes and more about the idea, which is fine every now and then :)

When it comes down to it, the poetry of Rick Owens doesn't have to be understood. It's more than enough simply felt. Which for me in the end, always, always is..
