as quoted from the LATIMEs- "Rick Owens' sophomore outing at men's fashion week here Friday found the designer easing up a bit from his Fall/Winter show (truthfully there wasn't much room to move in the other direction -- if the collection got any darker and heavier, it would risk collapsing in on itself and create a black hole)."
but the most revolutionary thing the LATIMEs totally missed from my long-time friend & exBF was that he did indeed get darker. in his choice of MODELS- BLACK MEN!
since i've known rick for over 25 years, he has never gone black. well, now as a true homage to america, rick has finally given up on those pasty-white, skinny aryan boys, and included some striking black males models. you know what they say rick, "once you go black, you don't come back," take it from me.
the LATIMEs aked him if there was anything "different: about his collection- "Yeah, I used taffeta this time, and I liked the way it turned out."
