PANTS BY RICK
Rick Owens is a genius. Not only is he a genius, but he's got a dark streak reflected unashamedly through his garments, branding, persona, lifestyle, etc. He says what a lot of people are scared even to think, and with his line, he takes that and turns it into something both grotesque and beautiful, startling the world with his cool honesty, morose eccentricity, and captivating intensity.
It's easy to see this looking at Rick's overcoats and leathers, defined by androgyny, strange proportions, textures, alien silhouettes... But today is July 3rd; tomorrow is Independence Day, commonly referred to as the Fourth of July depending on your point of view, and it's, depending on where you live, not quite the right weather for an overcoat just yet. So instead we're going to focus on another signature element of any Owens collection: his bottoms.
Again, pay attention to the texture of the fabric, the skewed proportions, but pay attention as well to the ease of wear, the comfort, and the practicality of these garments. Any man, woman, or child can don a pair of shorts, leggings, or pants and complete just about any task in your daily routine with ease. Wear with a basic tee for something casual, or dress them up with a scarf and jacket. For tailored construction, luxury materials, and a truly avant-garde style, look first to Rick Owens.
