>C'mon, there's more to Rick Owens than that.
Okay, but I'm not doing anything very conceptual. My main concept is you don't have to be so conceptual. I'm minimal and straightforward. When I explain it to people, I compare a William-Adolphe Bouguereau painting with a Brancusi sculpture. I'm the Brancusi sculpture, just a slab of metal on a hunk of wood, but it's about the right piece of metal and the perfect gesture.

>Editors seem intent on waving the goth banner over you. Do you hate that?
It doesn't bother me, but sometimes I wonder if they know my aesthetic is more campy than gothy. I'm just a big drama queen, but more queen than drama. My look is about an appreciation of teenage angst without actually having the angst. It's more objective than personal. I just ran across an article about Serge Lutens, the guy who did the make-up for Shiseido ads during the 70s and 80s. I was thinking I really want to know this guy. Or be this guy. We have so many of the same aesthetic touchstones. He was really into J.K. Huysmans, who wrote Against the Grain, whose main character Des Eissantes locked himself in an ivory tower collecting Gustav Moreau paintings, ivory snuffboxes and perfumes. I love the idea of an obsessive and sickly queen tucked away in his silk-lined bedroom.

>So you're about drama?
It's all about drama and death for me. Like I love the opera Salome by Richard Strauss, it's right up there with Metallica. Even the films I watch. One of the best I've seen recently is Life Is a Miracle by Emir Kusturica. It was in Cannes last year, and he's a judge this year. It's about wartime in Serbia, but it's a comedy. It's really funny, really campy, really sweet. There had to be some queens behind it. It's too campy otherwise.

big pants or a skirt would send this over the top and into #wow #woah #grail #basedteddy territory
it's just that you have a huge hood and huge shoes but then normal, human legs. you need larger than life legs. even pods or dropped trou would work rly well

(most) menswear is simultaneously slavishly anatomical without actually being very anatomical. i still don't really understand the appeal of the classic men's shoulder; it's not a very good ruse, and it actually contributes to a restricted mobility...

anyway, womenswear is where fashion becomes abstract, it's precisely where all the artistic ambition in the medium is hiding.
