RICK OWENS "MOODY" Fall 2014

When I had started to investigate about more designers I found with "Rick owens" and I'm really really in love with his designes. I feel like he has been my inspiration to get out of the ordinary and do something more experimental.

So... yeah guys! Now I'm gonna talk about him and his collection that was presented in 2014.

That collection was named "Moody" and Moody was a song recorded in 1981 by ESG, three sisters from the South Bronx. 

Apparently Rick Owens had running around his head that song when he was thinking about to do Fall 2014 for men.

The men he was thinking of were moody cops, emblems of the authority that he and more people like him rejected in their  youths.

Authority can have connotations of dominance and submission.

Which is how  was represented the collection, with the boots, belt and buckles.

But those abstractions were much less obvious than the flak vests in duchesse satin that appeared later in the show.

Owens told that was heavy with symbolism: The black leather of brutal authority was for example, balanced by the cashmere head wraps that symbolized benevolent nuns.

They seemed to parallel some kind of internal struggle for the designer. "I'm talking myself out of punishing myself for not being perfect," he said. So in effect he is both dominator and dominated.

Those shows had become so theatrical that the clothes were overshadowed and the trick was in understanding what they were saying through the clothes.
