FULL SHOWNOTES:
THIS WOMEN’S FALL/WINTER COLLECTION FOLLOWS THE MEN’S FALL/WINTER COLLECTION IN BEING TITLED SISYPHUS AFTER THE ARROGANT KING IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY WHO WAS PUNISHED BY ZEUS TO REPEATEDLY ROLL A BOULDER UP A HILL ONLY TO HAVE IT ROLL BACK DOWN AGAIN. ETERNALLY.
WE MIGHT INTERPRET THIS AS A STORY ABOUT FUTILITY, OR AS A STORY OF PATTERNS MONOTONOUSLY REPEATING THEMSELVES WITHOUT PROGRESSION.
FOR THE MEN’S SHOW I WAS FOCUSED ON CYCLES OF CULTURAL BACKPEDALING AND DISAPPOINTING SOCIAL SHIFTS BUT FOR THE WOMEN’S SHOW THE FOCUS IS ON SEDUCTION. CLOTHES ARE COMMUNICATION AND THE MESSAGE IS OFTEN ONE OF SEDUCTION. BUT TOWARDS WHAT RESULTS?
IN THE PAST THERE HAVE BEEN MOMENTS OF ALMOST GROTESQUE PHYSICAL DISTORTION IN THE NAME OF SEDUCTION - PANNIERS, BUSTLES... IT’S BEEN A WHILE SINCE THIS KIND OF DELIBERATELY SLY EXAGGERATION WAS EMBRACED.
ALTHOUGH THE BULBOUS BAGS AND BACKPACKS IN MY RECENT COLLECTIONS CAN EASILY READ ‘REFUGEE’, I HAVE PRINCIPALLY DEPLOYED THEM AS EXCUSES TO CREATE CREDIBLE VOLUMES ON THE BODY. PADDING HERE ISN’T NECESSARILY ABOUT PROTECTION, BUT ABOUT VOLUPTUOUSNESS AND A CRUDE SUMPTUOUSNESS.
TUNICS IN CAMEL HAIR AND LINEN FELT ARE PACKED WITH GOOSE DOWN TO SWADDLE AND ENVELOP THE BODY IN UNEVEN INDENTATIONS AND EXTENSIONS TO ABSTRACT THE FIGURE. COLORS ARE MUTED AND BLEAK. COATS, MANTLES, AND MEGAPARKAS ARE WORN OVER CASHMERE RUNNING SHORTS PAIRED WITH GENERIC LOOKING TRACK SHOES
OVERSIZED WORK SHIRTS, CARGOCHAPS, AND SHOES ARE CONSTRUCTED IN A SYNTHETIC SHEARLING THAT TRAILS LOOSE FILAMENTS OF RECYCLED POLYESTER YARN IN AN OUT-OF-CONTROL HAZE AND SOME COATS AND T-SHIRTS HAVE BEEN HAND-PAINTED IN ROUGH, THICK RESIN BRUSHSTROKES.
COATS ARE PIECED AND PATCHED TOGETHER IN COMPOSITIONS RIPPING OFF BAUHAUS ARCHITECTURE, WITH DEEP NUTRIA-LINED PATCH POCKETS.
THE ARTE POVERA SEDUCTION PROPOSED HERE IS A RAW AND INDIRECT ONE. SOME MAY CALL IT ANTI- SEDUCTION. BUT WHAT ARE THE SEDUCTION RULES AND WHOSE AUTHORITY DO I ACCEPT IN DEFINING THEM?
THE MUSIC ACCOMPANYING THIS SHOW IS SEVERAL VERSIONS OF A 1950S SHOW TUNE ‘BAUBLES, BANGLES AND BEADS’, A SONG ABOUT DRESSING, SEDUCTION, AND EXPECTATIONS. THE WISTFUL, YEARNING LYRICS CAN STRIKE A CHORD BECAUSE WE CAN ALL IDENTIFY, WHILE WE ALSO SMILE RUEFULLY AT ITS SIMPLISTIC MESSAGE IN THESE COMPLICATED TIMES (I HAVE ALWAYS DEFINED CAMP AS A CYNICS EXCUSE TO EMBRACE SENTIMENTALITY).

How long are they on average?
Something cool about Rick is that as a young sewer I couldn’t even attempt a concept like this. The entire premise of the show is around mastery of manipulating the shape of the body. It really shows his skill and why people pay what they do
Neatly stores "that is so rick" into my communications arsenal.
Lol he really gave a middle finger to typical silhouette traditional garments with his insane collection LOL love your commentary 🙌🏼✨
I’ve always been fascinated by Rick Owens. This really helped me understand his work in a much deeper way
This simulation of a dialogue between Sisyphus and Thanatos is precious)) Thanks for providing us with knowledge and sense of humour, all at once. I'm happy to see that your channel has been growing so decidely lately.
I’m a young fashion designer and your videos always inspire me.
Damn, Rick looking back at GeoBaskets like i look at Chino's and nike dunks in 2009
I always forget to come and like videos after I watch the patron's version lol
You’ve seen the FULL VIDEO too 👀
@@BlissFoster I watch on the patreon site and forget to come to RUclips XD I"m terrible
Great commentary Bliss! Thanks for touching on the fabrications. I can't wait to visit a store when the collection arrives to feel them in person. Ricks ability to provide different definitions of seduction in today's banal world is exciting.
I’m so glad you liked it, Gabriel!! This collection has come and gone in the stores. The newest collection is also outstanding tho!
Constantly giving us high quality content. 😍

One must imagine Sisyphus happy

off topic but anyone else want to redecorate bliss's house. the green walls will be the cause of my death
My dad is gonna kill the walls sometime soon 😔 I hate it bc I’ve loved the color of my parents living room my whole life
This seems late
Am I the only one who doesn’t like Rick Owens. Like there’s more to the fashion industry besides drop crotch’s and oversize converse.
I love avant-garde stuff and I'm usually into Rick but the way the bumps and folds and stuff are placed just doesn't feel thoughtful. At least a bustle, corset, or pannier was trying to exaggerate the lines of the body in an absurd way. Even Lumps and Bumps felt as though it was. But this feels a little careless. If it leaned more on the anti-seduction side conceptually I'd vibe with it more.
Sorry but i think this is a lot of runble to talk about nothing and orrible style . You good at talk but dont waist our intelligence!
