Okay, so I’ve been totally obsessed with Rick Owens lately, and I decided to dive deep and really watch one of his fashion shows. Not just, like, scroll through pics, but actually watch the whole thing from start to finish. Here’s how it went down:
First, I found a show online. I just searched for a past show. I picked one from a few seasons back because I wanted to see how his style has changed, you know?
The Setup
I made it an event. I dimmed the lights, got some snacks (very important), and put my phone on Do Not Disturb. I wanted to be present, like I was actually there.
Showtime!
- The Music: Oh my god, the music. It was this intense, industrial, almost unsettling soundtrack. It totally set the mood. It wasn’t just background noise; it was part of the whole experience.
- The Models: These weren’t your typical runway models. They had this androgynous, almost alien vibe. Super intense expressions. They stomped down the runway, no smiles, all business. It was powerful.
- The Clothes: Okay, the clothes. Layers, draping, asymmetry, all in shades of black, gray, and off-white. I watched how the fabrics moved, how the different pieces interacted. Some of it was almost architectural, like wearable sculptures. I also noticed the details like the zippers.
My Brain During the Show
I was actively thinking, the show pushed me thinking.
I kept notes, and I paused and rewound, and screenshot the video.
I was trying to figure out what I liked, what I didn’t, and why. What was the story he was telling with these clothes? What kind of person would wear them? Where would they wear them? I was sketching some ideas.
After the Show
After it was over, I felt…different. It was like my brain had been rewired a little bit. I spent the next hour just browsing through images of Rick Owens’ past collections, reading interviews with him, trying to understand his vision. It was like I had opened this whole new world of fashion that I didn’t even know existed.
I learned the show is not just about clothing.
It’s cool to do this kind of deep dive. I recommend everyone to find and watch a show.
