A big influence on Rick Owens Autumn / Winter 09 season’s collection was New York performance artist Klaus Nomi, famous for operatic sci-fi cabaret. Models looked suitably apocalyptic with shaved heads and pale faces, personifying the anti-glamour Owens is known for. Proportions are more accessible than in previous collections and raw materials are unadulterated. Texture and simplicity rule here.
Best Sellers:
Rick Owens Nylon Mac. Heavy duty black nylon padded coat with a padded funnel neck. Up close, the nylon has had a ‘vintage dye’ treatment so pigment is slightly stone washed, looks amazing against the sheen of the fabric. There are four deep outer pockets that seal with Velcro and two zip fastening inner pockets. Coat has a long vented slit up the back and is fully lined.
Rick Owens Single Long Sleeved T-Shirt. Soft long sleeved and long length ribbed t-shirt in a dusty brown with an unfinished hem and cuffs and a ribbed crew neck collar. Side seam is twisted for an asymmetrical finish, a classic Rick Owens t-shirt.
