Rick Owens: Michèle Lamy, witchcraft & gay boyfriends

Beauty Blueprint

5,695 views

When I visited his latest exhibition in Paris, I thought to myself: 'It's all DIY here.'
There's no magical, unreachable secret to his clothes. Really, there isn't. And it's good news.
You don't have to pay thousands of dollars to be in his world. You really don't. Just make yourself healthy (in and out), read some Huysmans, and wrap your precious self in, say, some deadstock snakeskin.

You are very talented. It is only a matter of time before your channel blows up. Another amazing video!

Apropos of nothing, I who at this point in my life wears nothing but oversized soft tops, fleecy pants, 2nd hand Dansko, crocs or cheap sneakers, Wet n Wild mink kohl eyeliner & Cover Girl pink blush...and Temu-level fake gold bangles...am obsessed with this channel and it's solely because of the mysterious Ms. Kira's engaging and well researched storytellling...also we do have a ton of overlap in artist/celebrity/culture interests! ❤

You forgot the fact that he also designed for the historic fur/couture house Revillon. Big Rick fan here 👍🏻

It's dystopian chic. I love it

I love Rick and Michele. Both are true to themselves and live the art.

As a sidenote: I've always found it curious that people refer to recreational drugs as "alcohol and drugs" when alcohol is a drug and one of the strongest drugs in the world. Why isn't it all just referred to as "drugs?"

I saw this video with a different caption pop-up yesterday. something like ´I don´t find Rick Owens that dark´.

I have a distressed ("blistered") leather bomber jacket from FW 2017 and its probably my favorite piece of clothing. The leather is beautiful and wonderfully soft. I love how it feels to wear, it fits well and is almost comforting somehow? As far as Rick jackets go its on the subtle side, from across a room doesn't look that different from a standard bomber (if perhaps more fitted), the distressed state of the leather only apparent up close.

I have a few other Rick pieces but the jacket and a knit hoodie are the two that get the most wear.

Never heard of the guy. Thank you for the short version explanation. I feel I learned something without having to stay for all the theatrics. He’s def weird. But I respect his ability to shake up the norm. We need more ppl like him to prove there is space for all of us in this world.

The drug use with him and his wife shows

Kira - I love this guy. I knew nothing about him beyond your other video about Michèle. So happy to see he isn't covered in tats! I mean I have 3, so I'm not against them, but it's nice to see someone not smothered in ink. I got sober around the same time he did. It unleashes one's creativity beyond one's imagining. Where does he get his boots? Fantastic! Are they his? Another wonderful video of which I enjoyed every moment. And you, my dear, are exquisite. Love from California.

This is an excellent breakdown Kira, the only way this channel doesnt get huge is the world is full of floating turds.

@argusfleibeit1165 8 months ago

Well-- that was interesting. Maybe I'll try to find out more about him.

@sun_paper_girl 8 months ago

Thank you for covering Bella Freud, I just binge watched Cate Blanchet, Blondie, Julianne Moore and the wonderful Helena Bonham Carter, now I will check out Rick Owens's. 🙂
At some point Kira you need to tell us who you are???

Ricks designs are not for me. I do find something very compelling and attractive about him. Alot of controversy around his wife....there are some very uncool things in that mix.
