RICK OWENS spring 2008

PARIS, September 30, 2007 – "I indulged myself so much in furry cavemen -{i loved the bulky knit hats}- last season, I thought it'd be fun to go crisp," said Rick Owens backstage. Dropping Fall's much-praised shaggy shearlings and flowy skirts, he worked instead in sharp, clean skins—eel, snake, or ostrich—and sculptural gazar. Usually Owens likes to cocoon the body in trailing bits of jersey or washed leather, but here he focused on manipulating, almost distorting, the female silhouette—"the grand gesture," he called it.

i always like the way he drapes and cuts his garments
and, of course, his color palette
these boots are pretty amazing too. . .
