Rick Owens: Molten Gold The nobility of Rick Owens always gets me. However maddening his venue – up and down a scaffolding of steps – however late, or however much the strangled music sets my teeth on edge, one view of fabric wrapped round the body to create soft sculpture and I am smitten.

That metallic coating applied not so much to the cloth – although a black dress had a shining metallic panel at the front – but to the models’ heads, which were dipped in gleaming make-up as if they were space-age sculptures.

Occasionally there was a diversion, as when the mass of fabric at the front was hung with hairy ginger fringing. The clothes seemed to go back to a primeval past when wrap and drape was the way to dress. Yet the effect was ultra modern – and that is the exceptional skill of Rick Owens. (责任编辑：admin) |
