Vacant Manifestation

Furniture Rick Owens

Moving day is approaching and I realized 'I have nothing'. Therefore, I'll pursue the brutalist way and built a neverending temporary installation with clothes, books and magazines.

A false encyclopaedic guide to the menswear collections, presenting:
Rick Owens Fall/Winter 2012

1. Calvin Klein Spring/Summer 2010 campaign
2. Ann-Sofie Back Spring/Summer 2011
3. Justin Timberlake for Rolling Stone

After his signature muddiness and a re-orientation towards crisp minimalsim, Rick Owens celebrates wetlook. Shiny surfaces that either imply polymer fabrications or simple wetness. Both conclusions are highly satisfying.

Rick Owens Fall/Winter 2012

Although minimalist at heart, I tend to fall for visually busy and complicated footgear: multi-laced and multi-strapped. With its reduced architecture and hidden closure construction, this version succeeds in uniting the best of both extremes.

Best Of Rick Owens

Rick Owens Fall/Winter 2002 - Spring/Summer 2012

Serene creatures and mythological connotations. Throughout the seasons, familiar themes and shapes re-appear: ethereal nuns striding along in asymmetric stiff layers accompanied by fog and dark industrial techno beats. During the years, the influences of minimalism evolved into more and more brutal and static silhouettes, marked by the hourglass waist and extended rounded shoulders. In the meanwhile, men transform from butch homeboys to asexual beings.

1. Raf Simons Fall/Winter 2001, Prada Fall/Winter 2011 & Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2002
2. Jil Sander Fall/Winter 2011 & Gucci Spring/Summer 1995
3. Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2002
4. Jil Sander Fall/Winter 2011 & Alex Katz The Blue Umbrella
4. Rick Owens Fall/Winter 2005 & Jean Paul Gaultier Spring/Summer 1990

I've kept it to myself for quite a while now, but the psychological pressure got too intense. I cannot deny nor hold it back any longer. The hood is back. Floral paisley for her, apocalyptic protection for him.
