Almost vintage Rick Owens

Coat & boots – Rick Owens


When Rick Owens is at his best, he creates beautiful garments that are futuristic. Despite being made in 2008-2009, they don’t look outdated because they were never ‘in trend’ in the first place. He tends to defy the conservative form of beauty in women which might explain why his market is so niched, but wherever the tiny stone falls, it falls really, REALLY hard.

A slight disturbance on a fine day

So I was walking along the streets of Bath one fine day, marvelling at the beautiful architecture and parks, when some chavs in an old convertible across the road pointed at me and shouted, ‘There’s a nun on the street!’

Definitely living up to the stereotype ey chaps?

1 Fashion year = 10 dog years

Fashion weeks have come and gone barely a week ago, yet it felt like forever since Marc Jacobs wowed the crowd with Kate Moss and gang on a life-sized carousel. This immediate access to catwalk shows makes me feel strangely bored now. Don’t get me wrong, I still love beautiful clothes and shoes, but one can’t help but to be jaded when every show comes and goes in a matter of minutes. As an outsider of the industry, I fully appreciate the democratisation of fashion. However, maybe fashion should slow down again, maybe. Just so we can go back to fully appreciating the blood, sweat and tears that have gone into making those beautiful clothes.
