Savage sophistication, distressed leather, exposed hardware, black-centric palette, and avant-garde perfection are but a few adjectives that can be applied to the American-born, Paris-based designer's designer Rick Owens.
Since 1994 Owens, a native of California (surprising no?) has romanced the world over with his asymmetrical dresses; long, clingy T-shirts; embellished outerwear; kickass footwear and viciously luxurious furs to cult like proportions.
Owens distinctly Gothic vision which highlights the beauty of form, imperfections and a suppleness that can only be attributed to luxury is on full display in the
Rizzoli New York produced tome
RICK OWENS.
At first glance some might sum up
Owens work as lugubrious or monotonous, but as the arresting
book exhibits (and those of us lucky to own pieces from the line can attest) his collections are sexy, beautifully made and supremely comfortable.
From his eponymous line to his work with Revillon,
Owens' aesthetic have never deviated and the clothes exemplifies that. The components are brilliant—most obviously, the rough-hewn, bias cut shearlings and leather jackets. Irresistible pieces like the fierce cropped sheepskin gilets and boleros - pieces die hard
RO acolytes, fashionistas and celebrities have in the wardrobe arsenal. His vision has been the same since he began his collection and it's truly a tour de force to see in the
book.
Sinuous silhouettes, a mysterious enigma and an perception that is truly one of a kind - everything that comprises
RICK OWENS is on full display in this tome. Like the man this book too is one of a kind and a total investment that will pay for itself (just like one of his furs!)....
