RICK OWENS FW18 MENS - SISYPHUS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- THIS FALL /WINTER COLLECTION IS TITLED SISYPHUS AFTER THE ARROGANT KING IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY WHO WAS PUNISHED BY ZEUS TO ETERNALLY ROLL A BOULDER UP A HILL ONLY TO HAVE IT ROLL BACK DOWN, OVER AND OVER AGAIN, FOREVER.
IT’S DRAINING TO WATCH UNHEALTHY CYCLES REPEAT THEMSELVES, BEHAVIOURALLY AND HISTORICALLY, AND EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, IT’S HARD TO SUPRESS A HOWL OF RAGE. IF WE HAVEN’T LEARNED BETTER BY NOW, AFTER ALLLLL THIS TIME, DOES THIS MEAN UNHEALTHY CYCLES AND BASE URGES ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE HUMAN CONDITION? AND IF THEY ARE INTEGRAL, DOES THAT MEAN THEY HAVE SOME KIND OF HORRIBLE VALUE?
RENDING ONE’S CLOTHES IN ANGER HAS A DRAMATICALLY BIBLICAL SOUND - HERE THESE CLOTHES ARE RENT IN A BIT MORE OF A DELIBERATE AND PERHAPS FATALISTIC WAY. DOUBLE KNIT TUNICS IN MERCERIZED COTTON FACED WITH CASHMERE WE REFER TO AS ‘CASHBOARD’ ARE SLIT AND SLASHED TO HANG AND GAPE AROUND THE BODY... OR CUT IN THIN AND CRISP WRAPPED JACKETS THAT CAN BE USED AS LAYERS UNDER COATS.
HAPHAZARD CARGO CHAPS ARE CUT IN CAMEL HAIR FLANNEL TO MATCH HIGH WAISTED PANTS CUT WITH A CUMMERBUND SILHOUETTE... AND RAW DARK DENIM JEANS HAVE BEEN CHOPPED INTO JAGGED SKIRTS.
COATS AND SHOES ARE CONSTRUCTED IN A PLASTIC SHEARLING THAT TRAILS LOOSE FILAMENTS IN AN OUT-OF-CONTROL HAZE AND SOME COATS HAVE BEEN HAND-PAINTED IN ROUGH THICK BRUSHSTROKES.
CHAINS CAN SUGGEST SUBORDINATION BUT THEY CAN ALSO REPRESENT LINKED STRENGTH. HERE THEY ARE DRAPED AND WRAPPED AROUND THE BODY AS STRAPS ON THE SIMPLEST OF RAW CUT PORTFOLIO ZIPPED BAGS IN SOFT SUEDE OR RIGID COWHIDE.
FLAGS CAN BE ABOUT UNITY AND PRIDE BUT ALSO DIVISIVENESS... HERE THEY ARE RENDERED AS CAPED PANELS FLOATING OUTWARDS AT THE BACK OF LONG COATS IN SOMBRE WOOL FELTS AND NYLON DUCHESSE.
THE SOUNDTRACK IS A REMIX OF ‘ENERGIZE’ BY DJ SPEEDLAP, THE KIND OF 90S TERROR TECHNO I LISTEN TO EVERY DAY AS A SAFETY VALVE TO RELEASE THE IMPATIENCE AND FRUSTRATION THAT ARE THE PERSONAL CYCLES I CAN’T SEEM TO CONTROL, NO MATTER HOW MUCH I SHOULD HAVE LEARNED BETTER TO BY NOW. IF, AFTER ALL MY EFFORTS, I HAVEN’T FOUND A WAY TO ERASE THEM, DOES THAT MEAN THEY SERVE SOME KIND OF PURPOSE?

Favorite Rick Collection
God.
Massive happy feeling when I hear terror anywhere never mind in a Rick Owens runway. Solid collection as always.
Marry me
YOU CRAZY FOR THIS ONE RICK
Sick. Best creativity in the world today is fashion. Thanks Rick. You are in my head.
what a relaxing experience
This show would not have been complete without the stuffy looking guy in the suit holding his fingers to his ears the entire time
a lot of the audiences' faces look a little bewildered... for this very cohesive, creative and experimental collection. it wasn't one of his most seminal works.
The music is a bit aggressive but perfect 👌
Da Gabber Rick
How could I forget Rick Owens wins because Gabber
genius
Interesting pieces
You are a very intelligent designer, you dress a man with dresses and skirts without looking like ladybirds...you are different from many (famous) designers with a big difference...you are better 💐
Killer collection but this music sounds like something they'd play at Guantanamo Bay to torture people. I had to turn the sound off just to watch it but the show is fantastic
You're listening wrong
You're a massive dork
Best!
energize
Cyber brutalism...
ye gads, did the audience have to sufffer thru this music????
100 Gecs? 😍
SLAYYY
The music is so annoying but loving the fashion though:)
PLEASE I WI FREZZ IF I WEAR T IN NEW YORK CITY IN JANUARY WHEN IT'S 20D
BUT I REALLY LIKE THIS RICK ROSS MENS ESSENTIALS FOR FW18
Love the looks but the music........ noooooo
the music is the best part of his shows. his style fucking sucks
Big fan of Rick, but I'm not feeling this season. Seems like a weaker retread of Faun.
KeeperOfProphecies indeed but im thinking that Rick is trying something new.
Tùng Dương Is this a joke/meme?
watching this collection over 2 years later, i definitely agree... few elements are nice: like the floating strings,or some of his chain link jewelry. but, i feel like his 2005 - 2011 collections still feel so fresh and relevant today.
i was thinking cyclops the cuts on faun are more baggy
