The Sartorialist

this collection is a little bit simple ! very simple
but it is nice

So simple and black. Nice :)

Amazing collection.

con tutto il rispetto ma sembra tutto fuori che bella questa collezione

Rick Owens is one of the many things that fashion is all about, namely, it takes a bit of thinking to understand what he's up to but if you do, you realize that it's not just pretty dresses and hemlines. His challenge to us expands our perceptions of beauty and craftsmanship and fashion. That's what the artist does for humanity.

It was definitely a strong show, alien-like fluidity but strong enough lines to give it a modern feel. And of course, dark, as always. Demeulmeester had a stunning show as well, I was taken aback!

But my favorite for Paris, so far has been Balenciaga!

I love the shoulder and the coats, so Owens with a "soft" line like Simons…anmazing! It's also cool the new "Tren" for the follwoing f/w: covered head with veils, like the futurism of Sander….

Somewhat severe but intriguing looks that are still somewhat practical. I wonder what the designers' emphasis is now with the exaggerated/over-accentuated shoulders on some of their garments? It is evident in all of Sart's other posts for the recent designers' shows. Even Lady Gaga's Grammy getup comes to mind with these recent fashion posts to me.

Very Joan of Arc(h)angel. Intrigued.

I want to wear all of it! What's so great is that these looks can be worn in LA as well as Paris!

I am always less taken by his womenswear than by his menswear but he has a clearly defined line & style. You can spot a Rick Owens from miles away.

Wonderfully haunting.

they look immortal like vampires
these clothes remind me of vampires.

the winged shoulder pad jackets remind me of gargoyle wings, and the all black outfit on the man, who has long hair.

but the whole wrapping the head and exposing only the face is very futuristic indeed. Reminds me of I-robot movie where the faces were replaceable

very minimalistic! love it

Beautiful clothes, great lighting, and wonderful photographs, bringing out the best of Rick Owen yet…

Rich Owens-weird and unwearable clothes. They look like costumes for a sci-fi movie.

Having said that, I have been inspired by all your street photos of people wearing great hats, so I bought a great hat. Your photos have also given me the courage to experiment more with texture and non-matching patterns.

Ignore Lentes de Pasta, at least the part about giving us less runway.

Very cool, and futuristic designs.

Rick Owens always struck me as part of the more dramatic camp of fashion – art over pragmatism. Nothing really wearable but interesting to look at it and consider.

angels and penguins :)

Such severity leaves me cold. I tried to imagine someone smiling in these clothes, kissing someone, showing some human emotion, but came up blank. And the non-eyebrow look? Hope it ends soon. I love minimalism, but this look seems soul-less.

I'm always amazed at how people praise ridiculous looks just because someone is a well known fashion designer. I know my fashion, yet this is so unattractive and ridiculous – yet fashionistas feel compelled to praise and defend it. How do these designers make a living? I can see very few people actually buying this garbage

Too weird for me but I can see a link to the Prada shots you showed us where flesh was an important design element. Prada used the knee and this one, in some of the pictures at least, makes the upper arm such a strong design element that the eye is immediately drawn to.

I like that he made pieces that have a purpose in cold weather. Especially like the hooded pieces and the way the hood fits. Wish I had that now. It looks like it might be part of the construction of the jacket but its hard to tell with the backlighting.

It remembers me a little bit of last year's McQueen. But probably I'm mistaken… But still, is beautiful!

Rock Owens is beautiful. Everything is looking the same to me, designers blurring together, maybe I am ill informed. But his work stands out, and always looks like his work. I like his particular sense of dignity.

Play with silhouettes and cuts? Looks out of this world to me…! :)

Difficult light to shoot in! Unique and intelligently shaped show, very artistic.

that's beautiful. kinda looks like a brazilian brand, Osklen. BEAUTIFUL!

How wonderful it must have been to be there! The strange beauty of these clothes speaks volumes to me. I am stunned, delighted, and challenged by Owens every season.

Thank you for including a portrait of him. He seems to have a strong, graceful stride.

I agree with what princessglee said at 3:41 PM: Bizarre

and would like to add weird to the description.

i miss his darker, cyberpunk approach.

meh.

Sorry … nuns in leather aprons working at a butcher shop?

Is that a snowboarding boot?

Scott, These runway photos are great. Fantastic, even. but you're The Sartoralist, the guy with the amazing eye for street fashion and the skills to capture it.

Let's see the street shots here on the blog– Runway style we have every opportunity to see everywhere else.

I agree with Danger
