I wanna bang Rick in all night in his clothing

It looks weird af and I would be really self-conscious if I wore that out, but he's one of the most powerful fashion designers alive. What else is he going to wear?

>>8641261
that's exactly how I feel. Like I don't understand how people wear gothninja shit and feel comfortable walking around.

>>8641266
Most people I've seen in photos wearing full goof are people working in the industry, whether its fashion writers, models, icons, etc. Makes sense that these people would feel comfortable wearing this stuff.

It might be different than what you are used to, but isn't a large part of enjoying fashion getting out of your comfort zone? I'm not saying everyone should go out and buy a manskirt, but hey I used to hate on drop crotch pants, but I tried on a pair and they are way too comfy

>>8641266
Some people are really self-confident, some people work/live in such a way that they don't feel the pressure to have to dress in a 'normal' or socially-acceptable way (or at least, not as much), and some people just don't care.

On that note, though, a lot of people seem to assume that being into fashion/dressing in Rick automatically means dressing 'full goof' everywhere you go, and honestly it's incredibly easy to assemble a great, relatively normal wardrobe out of Rick that'll suit you well wherever you go. I mean, suits? He's got you covered. Graphic tees? He's done that too, and well.

>>8641284
Agreed.

People with autism don't know they have autism.

>>8641302
do people without autism know they don't have autism?

>>8641307
No, what are you, autistic?

>>8641302
He has a friendly face

No, it never really looks 'that' good outside of photo shoots. It's inaccessibility makes it popular.

>>8641266
feels comfy, and way less tryhard than bus casual or a suit when ur not at work

>>8641249
a full outfit of RO, head to toe, looks absurd always. one or two less aidsy/gaudy pieces can look 'ok' but its still pretty kikey.

drksdhw is better than mainline.

The main demographic is rich asian teenagers.

It is Gucci for goths.

full rick fits look fucking ridiculous, you can pull them off though (some of them) and RO can piece together fits nicely, individually

>ITT people with no or a shit understanding of aesthetics

Fuck
Off
And
Die

daily reminder that goofnigger is a sign of mental illness

people laugh at these 'sick fits' IRL

>>8641284

but what bothers me is that if you say you don't like or 'get' it then people on here call you a pleb and dadcore and so forth and so on

for instance, I hate drop-crotch pants. They make it look like a person has no butt whatsoever and they remind me of the black kids walking around with oversized shorts that hang off their asses

>>8641472

They're being edgy

I live in NY and even among fashion circles goth ninja is made fun of. Goth ninja is the fedora of high fashion

>>8641472
Opinions can change. Maybe one day you will wake up and see something about drop crotch pants you like. Or you can just not like them and that is fine. I think the overly long RO tees are too much like a dress. Not even a nice dress too.

> people on here call you a pleb and dadcore and so forth and so on
lmao this is 4chan? dont take these posts so seriously

>>8641468
fucking dadcore get out

Holy shit the summer get's strong on /fa/
Not sure if this is better or worse than last year's "How fake do Dreamboxes look" phase
Full Rick works because while distorting the silhouette, it usually isn't all that gaudy. If you understand how layering works and which colors work together, and have the necessary body (low bodyfat, muscles or not), you can pull off sick fits easily.
I guess there's a lot of new teenagers on here now that have neither money, nor insight into the fashion world to understand this. But, to all you newfriends; know that on this board we settle shit like this with a simple "post fit" and if you can't post a decent fit, your opinion is immediately discarded and you are the ridicule of the entire board and your parents are very dissapointed in you.

the more i think about it the more ridiculous it looks. if you're under the age of 40 and don't yet have exhibition at the whitney, then going full RO looks totally autistic

that said, i think some of his sneakers look good in casual fits

>pic related, austin mahone in geobaskets

Just my pure opinion; I have never found a single piece from Rick that I actually liked. I find most of his pieces hideous, honestly. I guess we all see things differently, but I seriously do not understand his hype.
I really hope I'm not the only one on this boat.

>>8642260
stop using /fa/ buzzwords

hur durr muh silhouette muh layers

>which colors work together
dude, it's rick owens. there are no colors

>>8642265
>dude, it's rick owens. there are no colors
See, that's what I mean. Go look up a few collections before posting.

>>8642261
I was almost baited into this response before, but fine.
>going full Rick
What does this even mean, though? Rick, like most (all?) great designers, allows you to dress for whatever 'level' you feel comfortable with, and to look good and be comfortable doing it. Edgy, too. I mean, I could assemble a wardrobe entirely out of Rick pieces for you - Stooges, unstable tee, detroit jeans, combats - and how weird will that look? Not at all, you'll just look like a better-dressed regular person and be assured of the quality and design of your outfit. So using some expression like 'full rick' is meaningless, and saying that it 'looks autistic' (nice buzzword, and yes, I am aware that 'buzzword' counts as a buzzword) is not only meaningless, but stupid.

>>8642263
>I guess we all see things differenty
This.
But really, though, you can't appreciate a single piece? Who're your favourite designers and your favourite of their pieces? I'll try and find something.

>>8642267
>implying any of the teenagers on hear look at any collections at all

RO is fedora core high fashion edition

>>8642265
utter ignorance

>>8642278
>What does this even mean, though?
look at op's pic u fuckin dweeb.

then go look at some of the waywt threads where autistic teenagers try to imitate the look with their ebay used rick tee and zara dark collection crap

>>8642284
>reading comprehension

>>8642278
>>8642284
"Full Rick" refers to the fact that a lot of Rick fans tend to only buy his pieces... And conversly, a lot of people who aren't much into him focus more on other Designers that work with similar themes (Julius, BBS, Damir, hell, even Anne D and such).
If i had the budget, I'd dress in Rick/Saint Laurent tho, since Rick doesn't make nice skinny jeans, for one

>>8642263
>>8642278

The only thing, if I had to, were his jackets from Fall '11. Those were pretty great, but not amazing. I appreciate his effort as a designer and approaches, but I'm just not a fan of his clothing. I'm being realistic with myself, really.

My favorite designers and/or fashion houses are SL, Acne, Givenchy (a lot of Tisci), McQueen, etc

Kill yourself edgy aspergers virgin teen

>>8641477
>anything rick is the fedora of high fashion

Fixed

>>8642260
>justifying aspergers laden high fashion
>basically saying it's cool because it's expensive

Lol downs syndrome

>>8642260
Post fit
Include sign that says "aspergers" to prove it's you

id do anything for rick

I'm banning everyone ITT with my mind

IT'S WORKING, JANINE

I TOLD YOU IT WOULD

>people not realizing rick is the laughing stock of fashion designers

>>8642345
>making things up on the internet

IMO Rick Owens as a designer focused on silhouettes is great

>>8642385
>midwest teen refuses to believe that his hero is regarded as a joke in the fashion world because "edgy and expensive"

>>8642449
[citation needed]
>implying Rick could be any more of a joke than Hedi in any universe

>>8642299
Considering your favourite fashion houses, you do seem to sit on the mainstream side of high end fashion, so no wonder there really.
Fucking Tisci though?

>>8641266

You don't have to go all the way and dress like a Jedi or anything. The idea is to take pieces that you like and mix them up.

>>8641465
you are an idiot.

>>8642299
You named one designer. You're an idiot, stop sharing your opinions.

>>8642222

>>8641468 is in no way, shape, or form 'dadcore.' stop misusing the term. if your dad actually dressed like that, you'd probably know a thing or two about style.

that's fucking clasicallyy-influenced menswear.

Dadcore is oversized shitty golf polos tucked into khaki shorts and shit with shoes from Target or whatever.

We're already like 2 years into GN. Who really give a shit anymore.

>>8642813
>I learned about it two years ago why is it still a thing?

yeah keep copping fresh shit from h&m to stay hip and cool m8 that's the way to go about fashion

the guy is fucking balding with long hair

>>8642821
>being so insecure that you automatically get defensive

No I mean, why aren't more people excepting of it in the main stream by now? Or why are people so concerned about what others think about them when there dressed in it.

I haven't shopped at an H&M in over a year, but I wouldn't be surprised if you can find a GN inspired fit in there by this point.

>>8641249
Richard Saturnino Owens is like 52 years old, he looks good for his age.

At least he's consistent too, not only that, he's more popular than all the fuccbois on /fa/ combined.
Or do we look better than him?

>>8643109
LOL is this an effay meetup?

>>8643136
Yep.

>>8643109
that guy 3rd from the lefts t shirt probably cost 90 bucks and it looks like that lol

>>8643109
~~~~~~~~~~~ threadly reminder that unlike everyone else (barring maybe bio) fallow actually looks alright in this pic ~~~~~~~~~~~~

>>8643181
I guess.
He's the only one not underage b&, but the pants aren't very flattering.

>>8643187
fair i kinda like them tho
i also did say alright, not good

>>8641472

the reason people are hostile to you is because you're being rude. if you say you don't like - hell, HATE - drop crotch trousers, it's completely cool and could lead to an interesting discussion about taste, preference, etc

if you say "i don't like drop crotch trousers because it makes the wearer look like they shat their pants/ugly/etc", then you're not giving critique, you're insulting me.

"i'm just voicing my opinion!"
yes, sure, you're entitled to your opinion, but if you're unable to offer critique without putting others down, maybe you should sit down and think about why that's the case? for your own sake, if anything - that mindset is an enormous roadblock and will only drag you down.

and!! rick tees have a raw hem. too long? chop em off! (make a hat or something from the leftovers)
don't want your expensive silk/visc tee to fray? just hem that shit
