Under construction: Binnenkort komt onze nieuwe site online!
Rick Saturnino Owens (52) from Porterville, California, is controversial, dark, his line DRKSHDW says enough and he has been married to Michele Lamy for 16 years. The Odd Couple from the fashion world, but unbelievably successful. Ironically, Rick Owens' boyfriend Rick Castro - now a famous S&M photographer in turn - was one of Michele's best friends. He introduced them to each other in the hope that Rick could get a job as a patron draftsman through Michele because she had a business in sportswear. Rick worked for her for two years, without really understanding her because she "had such a heavy French accent," he told Hint Magazine in an interview. Whether it was due to the fact that he did not understand her or, in the end, did understand, let's not mention it, but he fell in affectionate with the small, dark Frenchwoman. "So it is true that I am bisexual," says Owens. "That is not supposed to be right?" People don't fancy that. It would also be great if everything is shadowy or white, but everything in life revolves around

Mr. Owens, are you an easy person to live with?
It’s tough for somebody to live with me, I think. I’m very inflexible and that can’t be easy. There are times when I put up a wall and I say, “This is what I hope and I’m not going to debate it or negotiate it,” and I know that that must be unpleasant. If I were living with me, I would find sick and exhausted of it always being about Rick Owens this, Rick Owens that.
So how does your wife Michele deal with that?
Michele has learned how to specify her space, and that’s kind of great. She has a very powerful personality and very strong opinions, so for me to push her on things… you can imagine the fireworks! What’s funny is that we’ll be in the middle of something heated, and we just look at each other and all of a sudden we recognize this whole thing we’re doing. We can kind of smile, like, “We comprehend where this is going” and we can figure it out in a different way. It’s great when we have those moments.

You can’t go home again, but Rick Owens tried to. A few years ago, he returned to Porterville, California, the town where he grew up, and for fall , he brought Porterville to his current home of Paris—as in, he literally invited show guests over to his house, a 19th-century townhome-meets-Brutalist bulwark that once served as the headquarters of the French Socialist party.
The fashion was, as it always is at a Rick Owens demonstrate , a melding of the sublime and the perverse: sculptural, wirelike tangles of cotton voile and mesh; spiky, reptilian boots. Named for his hometown, the collection “was kind of a celebration,” he says in his California inflection, his syllables flat and dry as the Mojave Desert. “I was capable to create the nature I was yearning for in Porterville. It might not have worked out, but it did.”
