Rick Owens Mens F/W 11.12 Paris

[MissMagAddict]

Rick Owens continued to sharpen his tailoring skills in a polished, industrial-chic collection peppered with outerwear stunners. Most were clean cut and sculptural, often carrying pointy hoods. Zipped jackets sported down-filled collars and futuristic tailcoats in papery leather had geometric edges, revealing skirt-like layers underneath. Showstoppers included one papery hooded white coat with nautical flavored oversized metal toggles and roomy black parkas lined with shaved brown mink. Owens ended on an ethereal note, as waistcoats sprouted wide ribbons of fabric that looped and trailed the body.

love the coats- as usual.
rick always kills it for fashion week. can't wait to see his womenswear.

too much black for my taste

and i see he's still trying to push the skirt. IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!

and while i like the cut of his leather jackets, his other offerings are surprisingly run-off-the-mill. with maybe some quirks. i do understand that at times the beauty is all in the inside, but those aren't things i see on the runway.

wow, i think this is the first time that I have seen man skirts works.

If there's ONE designer I wish I could afford it would be Rick Owens. The man is a God given gift to menswear.

I definitely agree. I like feminine influences in menswear (and vice versa), but trying to pass a womens skirt off as menswear is not influence, it's just a woman's skirt on a man.

For some reason, I'm wishing for more texture, some of it reads a little flat. I always seem to change my mind when the video emerges, I hope there's movement to compensate.

Always a pleasure to see Owens futuristic work!

 

[Jared]

His designs never fail to amaze me

One of the few Rick collection that I truly love. It's understated and minimal, things I thought I'd never see from Rick, but it works. It still retains the Rick edge .

 

[simons]

i thought it was kind of boring..

Divine! ... finally the Rick Owens I love.
And these have got to be the most masculine skirts I have ever been seen and probably ever designed, they are incredible.. saying they're not going to happen is understandable if you're several lightyears away from being the target audience, I can definitely see a couple of men I know not just being interested on this but also buying them, and they're straight RO customers who would know how to wear this.. the way they're designed certainly doesn't call for bare legs, just a hint.

The edges around the waist remind me a bit of Bruno Pieters' work, probably on how positively stiff it looks. And I love the detailing.. I'm off to find some close-ups of that!

Thanks for sharing, MMA!.

i dunno why people keep referring to those pieces as "skirts". i don't see them as such at least not in that standard definition of what a "skirt" is. to me,they conjure up the sort of pieces warriors might wear.

but i like this one a lot from rick. as usual his tailoring wins me over and i really love how he incorporated some of the more common elements like duffle coats into the mix of his exquisite design elements.

they're not woman skirt. They're pretty f___ing masculine. I would rock this **** in Japan.
