Picture Break – Rick Owens

Pin“Yes, I like that effect – creating a universe.  I think that’s what a designer has to do to be a true designer.  The whole thing of changing all the time too.  I like that Oscar Wilde saying: ‘Fashion is one industry that hates itself so much that it has to change itself every six months.  (Actually: “Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.”)  It is kind of true and I always wanted to be someone who kept a really specific vision all the way through and there are times I have wobbled.  Even if people do not like it, tey sense the conviction, they respect that and that’s the main thing for me.” – Rick Owens, QVEST, Aug/Sep 2008
