it'd be nice to beat junya watanabe with a stick. then do it again using the same stick next month. then do it again and again, month to month, while using the same stick for six consecutive years. perhaps then he'd understand what he puts people through.

this might be completely off base so neg rep if you must. the owens label is growing rapidly. i'm not sure we've ever seen these fabrics rendered on his mens side. the gentleman-ly woolens, satin scarves, total wear leather, and stiff silks make me think about the italian dandies we see on streetstyle tumblrs. i wonder if rick was thinking about his version of the madison avenue "businessman," or his italian leather dandy.his silhouette seems a continuation from 'vicious' but with a/w fabrics instead. that bit was unsurprising. the colour palette was mildly shocking. the assault of chocolate browns on opulent wools and long boots had me thinking givenchy a/w 11 done correctly. a colour on textile that speaks loudly for itself...and thankfully, bark free. i do appreciate the colour selections he proposed. the white seems more austere than usual which reinforces the protection point home. do not ever come near me in cold weather. ever.all of those quilted, double-faced woolen, and leather onesies had me thinking cozy, comfortable protection. protection from what? the wimples suggest sinners and project sanctity. the (sometimes) furry bulletproof gilets reinforce this proposal. the dichotomy of wimple and leather suggest an inner struggle with duality and subjugation. rick owens is a tough nut to crack so we can only know with show notes.hmmm...does the initial ss11 comparison stem from the simplicity (a sweater, a short) of most looks? or specifically from the shorts/long boots proposal?my initial reactions were three in total. the first was "wimple me this, rick?" i love a dorky pun. the second was "this all looks so comfy." more on that in a minute. the third was "rO-tang clan ain't nuthin to f*ck with." see first reaction's reason.
was it the best owens mens since exploder? no. is it nice to see a designer propel himself further away from the hammered leathers and geobaskets of life? absolutely.

dear friend, your observations are acute and appreciated. maybe my assessment was too cynical, too biting. maybe not.
the major positives i took from ruby/raf's presentation was in its sheer force of earnestness. those two clearly delight in working together. most of the collection per-mutates with that positive vibe. the realness seeps through in waves versus ripples. walter van beirendonck's influence on his collections, as of late, seems to be more oblique and less literal this time. that's a nice change. also, those desirable print coats...i mean come ON. COME. ON.
overall though, haven't we seen these items before? and wasn't it better the first time? edges were more unfinished, purely unfinished, the slim was less pushy and more organic, and patches didn't come off all "ah yes! raf did that for dior spring14 womens." no matter how many slogans, balloon shoes, truly eye catching greatcoats, or dictums of craft come my way, the collection doesn't come off as a new path. nor does it harken back to the good old diy's.
in totality, it all seems well-intentioned, but completely naff. you know i'm not some codger pining for a 98-05 resurgence. i'd simply like him to propose something that doesn't insult my archived feelings for his archives. now, the collection is clearly solid. maybe updates on 'gattaca' gloves (raf07), nature prints (rafjil08) and macreme'd granny knits (rafjil 12) make a better impression in real time. online however, sterling simons may be selling, but i ain't buying.

Does Neil Barrett constantly seem to be a little bit behind the ball? I look at his collections with a neutral viewpoint but always end up thinking that he's doing things which have previously been done, and done better. Surely he must have made a mark at some stage to be at his current level - but when? Any fans of the label here? Any collections worth looking at?
j, mr. barrett cut his teeth at prada mens in the middle-to-late 90s. he had a passion for making tech fabrics go luxe. a "smart marketing" approach to menswear was his label's calling card. he was an early adopter of life/style synergy (see: varvatos) amongst the trendy xy set, connected obvious dots, and set a nice course for himself. basically, he's a businessman. this is extremely weird as he came from rca and csm. 10-11 years ago he had a knack for cutting a great trouser, then adding a sportswear ease to it. subjectively speaking, his best work spans ss03-aw04. after that, he kinda fell off a cliff.
