SZ MIX | Rick Owens

Here is the new section of our blog, where we invite people who have participated in StyleZeitgeist Magazine, whether as subject or contributor, to create their own mixtape. Fashion is often intertwined with music, so we thought why not? Our first mix is by Rick Owens. Rick contributed the flagship piece on his role models for volume one. Here is what he wrote about his mix,

THESE ARE SELECTIONS FROM MY FAVORITE PLAYLISTS ON MY IPHONE – “CRACKWHORE” FOR THE LOUD STUFF AND “FAG” FOR THE PIANO BAR STUFF.

IT ALL USED TO BE SISTERS OF MERCY AND WAGNER BUT NOW I CAN ONLY LISTEN TO MUSIC THAT’S SUPERFICIAL – EITHER BIG AND DUMB FOR THE GYM OR SUGAR SHOWTUNES FOR WORK.

EXCEPT FOR MONTSERRAT CABALLE, JESSYE NORMAN AND LEONTYNE PRICE – BUT THATS A WHOLE OTHER PLAYLIST FOR GETTING UP IN THE MORNING………….
