rick owens, paris, a/w 09

rick owens will always have my heart. i say this because he consistently releases well-constructed, timeless and, in a non-retrograde sort of fashion, glam rock-y clothing. i aspire to be all these things (especially well-constructed - botox, i defy you!), and it just doesn't seem fair for it all to be delivered to me on a silver platter, but shit, i'll take it. his color restrictions for this collection make you recognize subtle detailing you would normally take for granted, a truly brilliant choice. the grayish white ensembles are like apparitions of a holy being, while the black on black is decidedly dark and bauhaus (the band, the movement - it's all relative). high collars, sleek pants and fierce fucking boots all make this a recognizable rick ownens creation.
