Rick Owens inspiration


PARIS, February 25, 2007
By Nicole Phelps
"I was looking at the work of the French cartoonist Sens, who did caricatures lampooning Poiret women as insects," said Rick Owens backstage before his show. That just might be the most meta inspiration of the season, given fashion's current fascination with the great couturier. It's certainly among the most unusual, and it produced one of Owens' most precise and accomplished shows yet. Paring back on the decorative confections of his last collection, the designer played with volume and texture to create what he called simple, primitive shapes. But if his skirt silhouette—a draped jersey design with the hint of a slit—remained unchanged from the first to the last of his 35 looks, there was nothing simple about the show's jackets and coats. Among them: shaggy mohair cocoons with stiff, rounded leather collars that arced away from the collarbones in a graceful ellipse; sleek sheared-mink vests with twin lapels falling to the same side; and other toppers with stand-up collars-cum-hoods and rounded backs that looked like a beetle's hard casing.

The highlights, though, were undoubtedly the shearlings. With their nipped waists, exaggerated face-framing collars, and cutaway tails, they deftly walked the barbarism/sophistication line that Owens has made his calling card. You could complain that the show was singular in its focus on outerwear at the expense of all else, but with looks as smashing as Owens' shearlings, why bother?

I like the way the garments in the collection cocoon the models covering nearly every skin surface. Maybe for protection from the elements?

New Foals

Foals are about to release a new album and if its as good or better than the last i cant wait to hear it!! Heard this first song from it on nme radio the other day and its already grown on me. Also some of the imagery from the video is relevant to my latest project as you will see.

Film for inspiration

Castastrophe: Protect, Hide, Move and Search

We have been given are final brief and this year and its a rather interesting one, well i think so. Basically we have been given the task of creating a garment for A/W 11/12 based on an apocalyptic scenario. This can be taken in any direction for the apocalypse such as natural disaster's, pandemics, global warming, infertility or rise of the machines are just a few ideas. We have been given a list of films to watch as part of are research i have seen most of them before so already have some ideas going on. Think i may choose the killer virus as my scenario.

Not very good at this!

I have been really terrible at keeping this up to date mostly because I'm too lazy and i kind of forgot id set it up.

So in an attempt to redeem myself I'm going to spend a while posting some stuff that has been going on.
