I admit I have a long standing crush on Rick Owens. Not him actually, his clothes. Rick looks like he belongs in The Cult (the band, remember?) and I guess it’s exactly that rock aesthetic that I love about his clothes. The interesting thing though is that he combines that rock’n'roll flair with a timelessness and elegance that is sort of surreal. Just last week I had the hedonistic pleasure of trying on some of his Palais Royal furs. These are little fur jackets that are somehow so glamorous and cool at the same time. And they have the power to transform. You try one one on and whoah, you feel like a million bucks. One day I will also have the million bucks (not quite) to buy one. In the meantime though I’d settle for one of his fabulous leather jackets.
