Rick Owens S/S 15 - Men's, Paris

[stemcell]

I love to come here for interesting things like that press release,
(so, thanks for that) but it's somehow always still a bit of a shock to see what I mostly assume are adults arguing like teenagers and being either way too sensitive or way too passive aggressive. ...I'll just sit here in the dark listening to "Black Celebration" and drink to that... Can't wait for FW15.

On another note, Faun leaves me wanting something more from Rick, marketing wise. I know he doesn't advertise, and sure there are the social networks or the oversized minimal look books in the store... but for some reason I'd really love to see a video from the brand about this. (dare I say fashion film) I never had that desire from Mountain, or Naska or anything else... I guess I just liked those collections enough on their own.

Yes, it sure is surprising that people who have a real passion for design have strong opinions and argue about things. What a shock that people aren't just lifeless dullards who don't give a shit about anything and just sit on the sidelines not doing or saying anything.

For the rest there is Instagram. Consumers, not producers.

You seriously think Rick doesn't advertise? Not in the sense of taking out full pages in magazines but the plethora of interviews, his big ass Rizzoli book, his instagram, his affiliation with popular rappers etc...

NO. WHY DID YOU EVEN BOTHER.

RULL STRON PASHUN 4 FASHUN. C'mon anyone can see the point I was making. You're illustrating it beautifully. But I am not going to fill up the thread with anymore of that. Perhaps shock was the wrong word, but personally, I only have a few close friends who are really into the things we are into, I don't see the point in finding a community of similar thinking people— and then bother bringing some kind of aggression, intentional rudeness/vexing/etc to the table.

I don't see the point in finding someone else's heated discussion and then smugly pointing out how above it you are, seems a bit desperate to me. I guess we're both just super confused right now.

[stemcell]

yeah, you're right. I really shouldn't have said anything. Hope all is well.

[DudleyGray]

Well, that was unexpected and nice. Cheers.

That's marketing, not advertising.

For people want the "sock shoes", there are available on online store farfetch. Only 41 left.

@mrbeuys, hum yes. Fixed.

[mrbeuys]

Sure you meant sock.
It's a bit cheaper too than in the UK (about £ 80)
