"Rick Owens" Full Show Autumn Winter 2013 2014 Paris by FashionChannel
Rick Owens is one of the true originals of fashion: his style is not derived or look like anyone else's, but is copied profusely. An intriguing personality, to say the least, who loves architecture, extremes, and infuses every fashion show with a high-performance energy that renders his work very similar to that of an artist. His exploration of ancestral and primordial forces that move creativity is often so intense as to disturb and trouble, but is distilled with such a sophistication that adds a rare instinctual purity which is almost metaphysical. After fire and water, elements that acted as sub-texts to the preceding fashion show, it is the moment of steam which ripples in the wind, a metaphor, perhaps, of the powerful lightness that inspires one of his best collections, emphasized in his passion for epic and moving music from a Wagnerian romance.
