honestly rick owens, why you gotta be so awesome?



the paris home and work space of rick owens is pretty incredible.

the design of the space is very much like owens' clothing--meticulously constructed elements and high quality materials presented in a deconstructed form.

what is intentionally absent from the space --no refrigerator, unfinished walls--is as relevant as what is brought in. it is decorated with custom furniture (much owens' own design), each piece, made of the highest quality materials; a cashmere upholstered bed a brass top table. and yet, the space is left raw, stripped down to its most tactile form.

it is the beauty of a certain kind of modern luxury---where empty spaces show wealth.
