Dark Shadows

i've just spent around an hour watching rick owens shows and interviews on youtube. always interesting to watch. he is such an honest and down to earth character, something hard to find sometimes in fashion. these pieces are from the DRKSHDW line, his cheaper slightly dumbed down collection compared to the main garments. he has managed to keep the price points so right on his diffusion line, low enough to attract more customers and offer the look to an entirely new audience, but not too low that it "sells out" the brand in a way.

anyway, these are from spring/summer available now.

mr. owens

ricks owens interview by Nabil Azadi during paris fashion week

"I think I’ve always had drive, and a kind of inner-aggression that you have to have. You have to have an aggression and an ego because a lot of time you’re almost forcing people to do what you want"

more words of wisdom from his ironicly named "rules of style"

"whenever someone talks about rules, I just want to break them. I recoil from the whole idea of rules"

amen to that.
