Rick Owens A/W09





_"Celebrate the freak, create the creature" are the words Owens lives by. The influence he name-checked for his collection was the late New York performance artist Klaus Nomi, famous for his operatic sci-fi cabaret. His soundtrack was the music that accompanies the final scene of the opera Salome. And the models embodied the anti-glamour Owens exalts. Like warriors in the wasteland, they stomped stony-faced, hair streaming or skulls shaved, in his layers of black.

I want the large percentage of this beautiful Noir collection - Kilts and Biker Jackets?! - I'm there.
