Rizzoli International Publications More Rick Owens

Rick Owens remains one of the most daring and influential fashion designers working today.Recently experimenting with new shapes, the application of new materials, and an unprecedented use of color, this book of entirely unpublished photographs will surprise and delight his legion of devoted fans. Lavishly documenting men s and women s collections and featuring Owens s continuing collaboration with the photographer Danielle Levitt, this book is an unabashed love letter to one of the most devoted followings in contemporary fashion. Picking up where Rizzoli s previous monograph on Owens s work left off, looks from his critically lauded homage to the rock-and-roll designer Larry Legaspi set a frenzied visual pace that never lets up right through the pandemic, when Owens memorably staged shows on the Lido di Venezia. Here, the continued evolution of nearly three decades of Owens s 'grunge-meets-glamour' worldview is seen close up.Grace and grit are paired with an obsession with structural transformation and movement, where diaphanous, flowing shapes contrast with sharp objects.This formal invention is matched by a mania for new and exotic materials.The use of translucent bovine leathers, brightly dyed snakeskin, and the hide of the pirarucu, a massive Amazonian fish, are applied to old and new icons of the brand.Color is now firmly part of the Owens legendarium, and a profligacy of pink, orange, blue, green, and iridescent hues now vie with trademark black, oxblood, and dust that have been part of the palette since the inception of the brand. Owens s newest provocations, grounded by the portraiture of Danielle Levitt, achieves a sublime unity in this essential volume.
