rick owens, present to past

These photos are from shows dating back to 2002. After receiving my "pass" onto first view.com I immediately delved into my favorite designer archives. For those of you who don't know- firstview is a fashion website which records every picture from every fashion show ever... for a serious sum. A limited amount of shows are free to view by the general public- but if you want it all -you have to pay. Style.com only goes back a few years but firstview offers photos as far back as shows were photographed. It's amazing to see how some brands have changed, its almost frustrating, actually. Its like a friend you think you know, who is so impressionable or insane, or influenced that they change face every few years- or 6 months. Then theres those trusty friends you know will never change and still be the same old pal youv'e always had. this may sound boring- in fashion anyway- an industry that thrives on change-but i feel its like your old blankey- and every baby knows, those only get better with time.
rick's style was strong from the get go. the dark overcast- gothic chic, apocalyptic wrapped, abstract, modern, monotone looks from his first collection easily fit in to the present one. He only refines certain details and adjusts his silhouette a tad each season so that the core rick owens aesthetic is never tainted and always beautiful- love every bit of it.

matthew ames

i am in love with desinger Matthew Ames. Especially this collection. The clothes are draped perfetly- almost grecian in feeling. He eliminated all zippers, and buttons to create a completly pure garment, with a closureless feel. Most of his garments can be worn many diffent ways and have a functional quality to them which i love. The photos for his lookbook capture the freeness and purity he strived for with this collection.- if i had to pick one "daily uniform" it may be something close to this... especially loving their nomadic quality
