One thing is for sure: Rick Owens loves black.
His latest collection, the Spring-Summer 2014 was presented at Paris the other night. The usual Rick Owens is black and white and maybe grey. He is a designer whose signature is very easy to be recognized among other designers. And if that wasn’t enough to make him particular, his shows are powerful, with strong underground bands that you’ve probably never heard of before. If you get to one of his shows you might feel that some friends met and did what they wanted: one the clothes, other the modelling, and some the music, it’s a feel-good atmosphere of people meeting on the same level. This unity makes his shows look very organic.

As for why he chooses black, Rick Owens is famous for having said “There’s something a little too chatterboxy about color. Right now I want black, for its sharpness and punctuation.” Zippers might as well be a sign of punctuation and the SS 2014 collection has many punctuation signs. Rick Owens doesn’t need colours to make his clothes visible.
And, indeed, his creations are sharp and very geometric. Also, his choice of layering black on black has a strong statement: “the more the better. When you layer a lot of black you’re like a walking Louise Nevelson sculpture, and that’s pretty attractive. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable is also one of the most attractive things you can do.”

As for the music of the show, Rick Owens had the Estonian punk/metal band Winny Puhh live singing and – probably you’ve never seen this before apart from a Cirque du Soleil performance - hanging from the ceiling, giving the show an atmosphere of riot. The hair is an important element for Rick Owens, and here the boys had either long hair or short and styled up, since he designer is one who chooses excess over simplicity.
