Okay, so yesterday I decided to dive into the world of high fashion, specifically Rick Owens. I’d seen some of his stuff online before – you know, the really out-there, avant-garde pieces – and I wanted to understand the hype. So, I planned a little “fashion show” marathon focused just on him.
First, I hit up YouTube. I figured that would be the easiest place to find a bunch of runway shows. I just typed in “Rick Owens fashion show” and, boom, tons of results. I didn’t bother with any specific season or year at first; I just wanted a general overview.
- I started with a random show, I think it was from a few years ago. The first thing that struck me was the music – super intense and dramatic. It definitely set the mood.
- Then the models started coming out. Man, some of those outfits were wild! Lots of draping, oversized silhouettes, and, of course, everything was mostly black, grey, or some other muted color.
- I watched a few more shows, trying to get a feel for the different collections. Some of it I really liked – the way the clothes moved, the textures, the overall vibe. Some of it, I have to admit, I just didn’t get. It felt more like art than something you’d actually wear.
After watching probably five or six shows, I started to notice some recurring themes. There’s definitely a “Rick Owens look.” You’ve got your long, flowing layers, your asymmetrical cuts, and those signature chunky boots or sneakers. It’s all very…distinctive.
I then decided to look up some interviews with Rick Owens himself. I wanted to hear him talk about his design philosophy and inspirations. That helped me understand a little bit more about where he’s coming from. It’s not just about making pretty clothes; it’s about creating a mood, a feeling, a whole world.
My Final Thoughts
So, after my little Rick Owens deep dive, I can say I definitely appreciate his work more. I might not wear it myself, but I can see the artistry and the vision behind it. It’s definitely not for everyone, but that’s kind of the point, right? It’s bold, it’s different, and it makes a statement. I think it’s great, and the “fashion show” marathon really helped.
