Was look 19 an ode to Lisa Rinna

 

[bc collector]

I feel like Rick's creative spark is petering out.

 

[Machinegumm]

I'll just pretend I didn't see that.

 

[jeanclaude]

A remix of his remixed collections of late...

 

[andrew]

the sequined puffers would go perfectly in my lisa frank obsessed daughter's closet.

 

[Lola701]

Rick needs a reset. Can he just go back to his Y2K? I want the jersey draped dresses and slouchy, sensual silhouettes again.

His stuff as of late screams fashion victims and IG posts!

 

[GivenchyAddict]

This collection is deja vu more than ever. I really don’t count on him anymore to be innovative.

 

[Deleted member 7575]

I feel like Rick is really bored and he's just trying to entertain himself.

Unfortunately I feel like the brand is spiraling into this kitschy/tacky version of itself.

It's not as bad as Marc Jacobs but it's getting there.

 

[THD96]

This scream "I'll show you how to do avant-garde" and that's why I'm out. All I see are clothes for editorials and red-carpet stunts, and besides Michele Lamy, I don't see anyone willing to wear those swollen looks.
This collection looks like a Diet CDG collection.

This will be praised as something innovative by his cult, but I see a lot of stunts but not enough genuine substance contributed to the brand.

Yes but to be fair, Rick Owens has consistently and steadily built up a very strong DNA and repertoire of iconic items over many years of fantastic collections.

He's done all that work and he doesn't need to prove it anymore with these shows.

You're not wrong but it's not like he's standing without a solid foundation.

absolutely, he is legendary. this feels like a remix and it's a bit disappointing but it's still...cool? at least to me? i do wish he didn't bow out creatively at least, i wish he would give us something new but given his legacy he is completely entitled to do that and still remain "iconic" forever.

 

[RaisinBoy]

Its more tired than cool to be honest

 

[Kennnnn]

The looks are fine and I'm sure the pieces are individually very good. What bothers me is the lack of growth in his aesthetic the last couple of years. The shows don't really excite anymore.

There used to be a sense of frission from viewing his clothes up close, touching them on the racks (the selection in the stores in Tokyo have always been great). Somehow, I don't feel what way about his clothes anymore.

 

[Beun]

The simple black looks in the first section of the show work best. Those awful boots though...

 

[sanssoleil]

I want those boots lmao sincerely (maybe this is an embarrassing confession). powerful looking but i don't know where I would wear them.

 

[Cocteau Stone]

Avant garde goth ninjas dipped in lurex and ready to be fashion victims all for daddy Rick. No thank you.

To be honest... I am always pushing and pulling between eye rolling and liking them. I almost impulsively ordered a pair from the men's collection but they are WAYYYYY way way wayy too expensive. Like oddly overpriced. Plus the question where would you where them? I still don't really have an answer. Unless you're one of his simps and wear them to the convenience store
