Okay, so, I gotta tell you about this whole Rick Owens and Michele Lamy thing I’ve been digging into. It’s been quite the journey, let me tell you.
First off, I started by just poking around, trying to get a feel for who these two are. Turns out, they’re this power duo in the fashion world. Rick Owens, he’s this designer guy, and Michele Lamy, she’s like his partner in crime, in the best way possible. They’re not just about clothes, they do furniture, art, all kinds of stuff. The word “muse” is simply not enough for describing Michele’s effect on Rick’s work.
So, I dove deeper. I read about how they met. Apparently, Michele hired Rick back in the ’90s to work on her clothing line. He was just a pattern cutter then. Can you imagine? Now they’re like, this iconic couple, working together, creating this whole unique vibe. I feel the 21st century a little bit dystopian, maybe it is the reason why they match so much.
Then, I got into their work. Rick’s designs, they’re something else. Dark, edgy, kinda gothic, but also really high-end. And Michele, she’s not just his wife, she’s got her own thing going on. She’s a designer, a lawyer, a film producer, even a restaurant owner at some point. How cool is that? And she’s got this wild style, gold teeth, all these rings. She’s definitely not your average fashion person, she really likes chaos and creativity.
Next, I spent hours looking at pictures, watching videos of their interviews. They’re so interesting to listen to. They talk about their work, their relationship, how they see the world. They are so kind and personable. It’s all very artistic and philosophical, but also kinda down to earth, you know? It’s like they’re living in their own world, but they’re also super connected to what’s happening around them.
And their work together, it’s like they’re one brain. Rick might be the face of the brand, but Michele is right there, influencing everything, designing furniture, she is his appointed mate. It’s a real partnership, and everything is an intimate exercise between them. They have a conversation on designing, creating and living.
- I tried to understand their aesthetic.
- I looked at their collections.
- I read their interviews.
- I even checked out some of the furniture they design.
In the end, I realized, it’s not just about the clothes or the furniture. It’s about this whole world they’ve created, this whole way of life. They want to oppose intolerance, and they are so dedicated to the mission of their brand and life. It’s really inspiring, to be honest. They’re not just selling a product, they’re selling an idea, a feeling, a way of being. And I gotta say, I’m pretty into it. It’s definitely given me a lot to think about, both in terms of design and just how to live life, you know?
