This month I had a fantastic time interviewing American fashion icon @rickowensonline. Every time I have had the opportunity to meet the designer in the past, I’ve discovered a side of Owens that usually gets shielded by his high heeled, “don’t mess with me” look. His shows can also project a distancing energy, with models many times transformed into creatures from a different galaxy. But when in private, I discovered that the designer blossoms as a kind and empathetic man, with encyclopedic cultural knowledge, and a serious passion for museums, architecture, music, and Egyptian civilization. The interview is full of strong statements that will caught you off guard: “I’m sure there are a lot of people from where I come from that would laugh at my clothes, if they saw them out of the context of the celebrity connection." With awards, a legion of fans, and more than 500 points of sales - including a new flagship store in Dubai - its fair to say that Owens got the last laugh. For this story, we shot the Rick Owens winter collection in Iceland. Tap the link bio for the full interview. Thank you to all the teams that worked on this story, specially @annaphilippa00 🖤 Photography: @kevinpages_ Style: @aminejreissaty Hair: @geiripunk Makeup: @roksanakruszewska On set producer: @annesogalyg Models: @hannaraaakel @karitaslotta
