the 1980s

ann demulemeester and damir doma are like such obvi influences

carol christian poell is sooo probably a mutual influence

also duhh hedi slimane

it's hard to really know though without looking at his earlier collections and nobody cared about fashion in 1994 when he started

(the internet made everyone self-conscious and hate themselves and insecure about how cool they are and convinced everyone buying 1 grand shoes was what was cool)

>>6326936
damir first showed in 2007 tho

rick started his label in 1994

>>6326954
yeah but tbh rick in 1994 probably looked shit like rick in 2013 lol

>>6326936
>damir doma
>obvi influences

u got that backwards m8

>>6326972
uhh well not exactly

he has kept pretty similar themes and aesthetics throughout his career, the difference is that now he is more well known

>>6326972
as far as we know, rick has basically had the same aesthetic since he started. i mean obv he's grown as a designer but i remember seeing a show from the late 90's and it wasn't ~too~ far off from his new stuff.

why are you namefagging if you don't know shit like this

>>6327019
idk i think fashion designers are mutually influenced by each other lol if you dont think the influence goes backwards and forwards youre probs p ignorant imo and i cant find any examples of ricks menswear until somewhat more recently (post slimane at least) lol

>>6327019
Wasn't ricks first show in 02?

>>6327036
this

wow you guys sure know a lot about rick owens

>>6327036
oh was it? my bad i saw it a couple months ago.

>>6327036
his first runway show yeah
he's been doing non-sample items straight to production since the mid 90s pretty sure barneys was one of the first to pick him up
i've seen some of his 90s clothing it's atrocious

>>6327104
p.sure theres a guy on sz that has a 90s rick leather

Paul Virillo- Bunker Archaeology, a great book if you want to look further into Rick's inspiration.

>>6327111
i've only seen a few pieces from the rick owens thread on sz tbh

>>6326447

I think it's Rick wears his inspirations on his sleeve, quite literally.

Sportswear is obviously a starting point. Even his most glamorous gowns and luxurious furs have a grab-and-go sort of mentality and dress up and down (if you try hard enough) that very much aligns him with the tendencies and attitudes of people who defined ready-to-wear in the 90s like Calvin Klein.

When it comes to points of inspiration, the style names tell you all you need to know: overt references like Chareau and Brancusi drawn a direct line between interior design and architecture to Rick's use of lines, shapes, etc. The "Stooges" is a nod to Iggy, the "Intarsia" jacket looks at hand-done woodwork, etc.

I think the descriptors are also really good hints of where the ideas come from. The use of words typically associated with activewear and sports like "turbo", "extreme", and so on point towards the conflation of couture extravagance with modern athleticism.

Drapery very much owes itself to Classical art (and the legions of designers who also drew on it like Gres and Vionnet) while the color palettes and textures owe plenty of people like Le Corbusier and Jean-Michel Frank.

Overall, there's nothing magical or really that obtuse about where Rick's aesthetic comes from, but it's mostly in the ease with which its assembled (which owes something to the influence of collaborators like his wife and Panos Yiapanis) that makes it different.

The silk/poplins from Release(?) are incredibly light, but the weave has JUST enough memory in them to hold the shape without reading stiff or ungainly.

i really need to cop one of rick's easy poplin #vionnetcore dresses. id probably end up wearing it every day until it disintegrated.
style w/ gimp 4 maximum rickness

>>6327512
my amazing trucker skirt is starting to get some holes that would basically be impossible to fix, since they're right on the butt and i don't know if darning will really help.

i havent decided yet if i should just wear it until it disintegrates or archive it until i have the skill to copy it

user help me

>>6327521

Fuck darning, just add another panel of fabric at the waistband underneath.

>>6327505

That radial joint (I don't speak cut and sew sorry) on the hip is so dope. Reminds me of what Raeburn has been doing with his jackets.

>>6327528

I would just describe it as a side seam with a long insert. I guess it's also kind of a train.

>>6327525
it's occuring on either side of the only structural seam; eventually it'll just turn into an apron. i guess you have a point tho, since it'll still hold at the waistband until it starts to wear there too.

at any rate, it's 70% alpaca and already too hot to wear it
thank god i copped a lotus B)

>>6327521

archive it and knock it off as a project in draping class. In Draping level 1, the first project is a garment knock off (at least for the class i took)

>>6327534
right, the seam i hightlighted is the only structural seam and it was almost assuredly sewn in one pass. the slightly twisted seams surrounding it are non structural, and were sewn in first, before the front and back/side panels were sewn together.

>>6327011
explain

>Nobody mentioned Kiss

stupid faggots

>>6327620
havent seen much kiss on the runway since stag tbh

>>6327623

I think it's less about outright glam rock like KISS and more stuff like the kind of otherworldly, androgynous thing that you'd associate with Bowie. There's plenty of silver coming for fall, though.

>>6326936

>be born in the same place as Damir
>can't afford his stuff

;_;

>>6327256
What do you mean by the ease in which it's assembled?

>>6328645
It doesn't seem forced.

>>6328645
you could pretty much flail blindly through a rick rack and come out with a sick fit
it also styles well from one season to another, and even from one end of his career to the other.

Isn't it obvious?
