It's him and it's commercial and it's gorgeous.

Some of those dresses are absolutely stunning. And I love the shoes with the huge cuffs. I love the addition of the green as well

agreed-
i also got an egyptian vibe...
and the sandals...(SANDALS!!!>>>)
they change the whole silhouette and make it much more feminine and sexy...
and probably even stronger than his usual clunksters would...
*a good sexy shoe has great power...
rick does sexy minimalism...
a nice new direction...
gotta check out the video because these pieces must move beautifully...
anyone have a link to the vid?...
tia...

for me, this is one of the highlights of the season
i really admire designers who can make very wearable pieces in such a gorgeous way. this collection has a certain simplicity to it, but it's a "non simple" simplicity, very interesting and, indeed, sexy. the shoes are great, too. thank god for rick owens in the middle of so many unimpressive collections this season...

He's toned it down a bit hasn't he? But somehow he still maintains the Rick Owens integrity in this collection. I like that he doesn't sacrifice his aesthetic for commerce.
And the draping is quite interesting, I've never really seen him use that. Has he done it before?

^ yes he was a notorious draper ever since his younger days
seemed to have cut down the draping action in the last few years, presumably because the entire market became flooded with it. imo he is one of the few designers who pulls off draping techniques amazingly; the structure/form is never lost within the process

Interesting shapes and mixing of textures and plays on volume.
Those head thingees were totally stupid* and normally I don't mind a little stupidity because the opportunity to snark has its own merits, but this is more than a good collection, it is fashion forward and while not technically haute couture, it this embodies what most people think haute couture should be. But then some dumb *** put those goofy things on the models heads and between that and the makeup, a directional collection starts veering towards an evening with Captain Kirk and his Ladies. Goofy style decision aside, this was a collection of 'importance' and probably the most 'important' collection thus far in the season.
*I actually like the second to the last one and the last one was OK.

I like the all the shoes, although the ones with the puffy anklet do not fit, but it is not as egregious as the head thingee.

That's interesting because it just goes to show you don't need to be a die hard Owens fan to like his clothes. I only started following him a few years ago and just his immaculate sense of technique alone is enough to make me like him, regardless of how long I've known about him. He doesn't need getting used to, that's what I'm saying lol

ohhh i love this collection. he usually has a much harder aesthetic, but i find this much more refind, and it has an almost ethereal vibe to it. i want to see how the pieces move!!

Those pictures from nowfashion hurt this collection immensely. I am not the biggest fan of Mr. Owens most recent work, but I adore this collection. I love how the silk canvas drapes and flows; it provides a beautiful hard edge elegance.
