Okay, here’s my attempt at a blog post, mimicking the style and structure of the example, about “Rick Owens Young”:
So, I’ve been diving deep into the whole Rick Owens aesthetic lately. Not just the main line stuff, you know, the usual drapey, goth-ninja vibes. I’m talking about the diffusion lines, especially the younger, more… accessible stuff, like Rick Owens Young. Or at least, trying to figure out exactly what that is.
It all started with seeing some pieces online that looked like Rick, but… different. Less severe, maybe a bit more playful, and definitely cheaper. The tags said “Rick Owens”, but there was often extra wording, like “DRKSHDW” or “Lilies”. And occasionally I’d come across “Young”. That’s when the confusion really set in.
My Investigation
First, I tried a simple search. Let me tell you, it wasn’t easy. It seems “Young” isn’t an official, consistent line in the way, say, DRKSHDW is. It’s more like… an occasional label used for certain pieces, often within other diffusion lines.
Next, I spent way too long browsing forums and online marketplaces. I was scrutinizing every listing, comparing fabrics, cuts, and, of course, price points. What I started to notice was a pattern.
- Materials: Often, the “Young” pieces seemed to use lighter, less… luxurious fabrics. Think cotton jerseys instead of heavy, treated leathers.
- Cuts: The signature Rick silhouettes were still there – the long, lean lines, the asymmetry – but they were sometimes simplified. Less complex draping, fewer zippers, that kind of thing.
- Branding: This was the most inconsistent part. Sometimes the “Young” label was prominent, other times it was barely there, tucked away on a care tag.
My Conclusion (For Now)
From what I collected. I think “Rick Owens Young” is best understood not as a separate line, but as a descriptor. It’s like a way of saying, “This is Rick Owens, but it’s the younger, more casual, maybe even experimental version.”It might appear within DRKSHDW, Lilies, or even as a one-off piece in the main line. And It is all my experience.
I felt pretty good about my findings. I managed to snag a couple of “Young” pieces myself – a long, drapey tee and some drop-crotch shorts – and I love them. They’ve got that Rick Owens edge, but they’re easy to wear every day.
So, that’s my “Rick Owens Young” deep dive. I’m still learning, still collecting pieces, and still trying to figure out the whole Rick Owens universe. It’s a wild ride, but definitely a stylish one.
