Rick Owens Men 2015

July 08, 2014/ E. Vincent Martinez

Fashion imitates art at Rick Owens. Deconstructed denim and suit lining gave way to sleeveless tunics and shorts. The occasional trench made appearances from time to time in single and double-breasted versions. Owens, who is known for a color palette of black, introduced color this season, not only through his garments but on the models themselves - dramatic and eerie, full-bodied painted men. Rick Owens' menswear collection for Spring 2015 was inspired by the 1912 ballet L'après-midi d'un faune by Nijinsky. Owens titled his show Faun.

Rick Owens Spring 2013

July 04, 2012/ E. Vincent Martinez

Skirts and skorts; robes and blousons. The occasional [reinvented] suit. It's menswear, like only

Rick Owens

delivers. The silks and light linens offer an ease that feels effortless. There is a comforting appeal to his collection. Perhaps Rick Owens is light years ahead of his time,

or not?

Maybe the future is closer than we think...

An avant garde, future-esque, black leather, cape-like frock stomped down the catwalk. Then another and another and another... The overall impact of the gorgeous glamazon warriors on the

19th Annual Jeffrey Fashion Cares

runway dressed in all black was not only dramatic, but a statement, perhaps, that black is the new black.

Designs by Haider Ackerman, Rick Owens, Junya Watanabe, Lanvin, Prada and of course Jason Wu set the 2011 Jeffrey Fashion Cares 150ft runway on fire. [Many other designers were featured as well.]

Color gradually trickled unto the runway and electrifying splashes of orange, greens, yellows, fuchsias and reds made their high-end presence known.

Randi Layne

and

Don Purcell

do an excellent job of laying out a cohesive runway show that is interesting, exciting and entertaining. And if it seems effortless, its because

they're

good!

Special guest designer,

Jason Wu

, closed out the runway with about 10+ looks from his spectacular Fall 2011 Collection. "Baroque meets sportwear" as its been tagged, treated Atlantans to a sumptuous display of "deconstructed lace." Many of the garment had been painstakingly hand embellished. The end result - sparkling brilliance and sheer elegance.

They look like models, though they're not, yet they were on the JFC runway and wearing Jason Wu, both on their backs and on their arm. [They are] Co-Chairs

Lila Hertz

and

Louise Sams

, of course...
