Rick Owens - SS13 - Mens - Paris

[Crowzer]

I'm curious but why this changement ?

[Patroklus]

Interesting. The boots appear to be using Excella zippers now, so he didn't just change the tab, but the brand used as well.

uh, excella aren't ykk?

[Dane]

excella is a ykk brand, yes, but he used raccagni in the past, which are not ykk (maybe I'm wrong?)

[Patroklus]

muh bad
at any rate, excellas r rad so idk why ne1 is worried

[Dane]

not worried...nice to see excella on footwear. the jackets are still an unknown tho.

[kunk75]

he's walked away from everything else that made the menswear great, why stop at the zippers. and nice r.m. williams boots

Just got mine today, you may want to be quick as these will be gone in a flash. It's a collaboration with Paul Kooiker, and doesn't really feature a single piece of Island. Very nice, very collectible.

you got one because of a store affiliation, right?

printed lookbooks have become really superflous, really, so i think it's both fitting and a good design decision to not show any pieces. as long as its transporting the collection's main themes.

Haha, to be honest I don't really see the connection between the images and the collection. I think it was just a good excuse to collaborate with Paul. The shoes aren't even from this season. But I agree I like the idea of making a seasonal print piece that doesn't need to be tied to the season.

heh, open to interpretations, right? but you may be right - the series wasn't even exclusive for this collaboration, so …

they're not working with non-format anymore?


ps. about zippers: i've had several problems with rick raccagni super R zippers. maybe they've had too many returns / complaints...?

[electricgecko]

this island thing could be a one-off collabo. maybe non-format did the layout, dunno. also, there's this:



looks very much like the stuff non-format did earlier.

[mrbeuys]

Look book definitely isn't N-F
Don't think the soundtrack packaging is either. Will have a look tonight.
