Rick Owens Men's SS11 Paris

[North]

I like this collection. I think its a nice continuation of his previous work, but this time he's expanding more on certain topics. I like that hes incorporating more of the shapes he introduced in his womens wear to menswear.
The coats seem weird, the narrow proportion with the high straight shoulder feels very uncomfortable to look at, I do like the short sleeves though.

For the first time with Rick Owens I feel like I can wear some pieces.

the tanktops look terrible though, except for the draped ones.

i like this collection ,,, lots of wearable pieces

From what I can make out, it's a bit boring. No new, stand-out designs. But what is he on to now..mammoth boots?

Shit photos, but thanks.

from a female point of view, at least this one, its very appealing. stark, slim shapes that accentuate the best parts of a man. somehow its loose while still maintaining the male form. his footwear never does it for me but as a bottom "weight" it does work in this case.

I also find this rather boring. rick is true to his (SS) style for sure, but I wasn´t a fan of it anyway... hopefully there will be some nice pieces backstage.

Rick Owens is one of those designers I would never buy myself,
but I can still appreciate his vision and aesthetic.

I have been following Rick Owens for a couple of seasons now,
and all I can say about this collection is that it feels like a deja vu.

I can barely see anything new here. I think it's quite, or very, boring.
Still, some of the best looks are solid, but overall, it feels 'safe'.

I remember people used to say Ann Demeulemeester was doing the same thing, collection after collection, but now it seems to me Rick Owens is the most stubborn designer.

I can imagine the fans will embrace this, and it will make them happy.
But for me, I see very little progression.

Rick does always very interesting finale, and this one was even more elaborated and complex than the previous one.
Did some work on the (still shitty) pics I've taken from the final evolutions.

wholeheartedly agree with this statement.

the only silhouette I enjoyed in the whole show was the tanktop + shorts + slim tall boots with pull tab, I can't identify with the long coats or the saggy boots which you can manipulate with zips.

My first impression was disappointment, but it's slowly growing to me. I don't think that I'm going to love it, but for me it's definitely better than AW10. Some of the silhouettes are quite intriguing. I especially like ''bootcut-styles''.

erm since theres already a ton of photos in thsi thread I'm not gonna repost these, but here are the higher quality shots: http://scoute.org/blog/?p=578



a very safe collection imo. a confusing amount of similar looks, seems like the same coat, shorts etc. show up in a dozen looks.

not bad per se, but nothing extraordinary.

looks like the guy lives in a giant SS10 sneaker

I predict much love for the rider boots..
And happy to see a new shape to the tanktops

[Johnny]

it's a funny old world where a collection containing the look that bsr posted is labelled safe. let's step outside of sz for a sec...it's laughably ridiculous, as well as a rehash of stuff he's done before. one would look like a total turd dressed in that outfit.

the only real lustworth piece (if that even) is these shorts imo
