Dear Shaded Viewers,
This was the strongest Rick Owens collection that I’ve seen in at least 5 seasons. Rick played with volumes and cuts in furs, leather and jersey draped protectively across the body. It was all about elegance and urban modernity. The fur shoes and white socks were sensational. I’m sure these clothes will fly out of the stores. Can I repeat myself? Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I loved it.

To tell you the truth after I saw this collection I really did not want to see anything else. I did, but I think that I should have followed my instincts.

THis is the car that should be driving me around and here is James GOldstein discovering himself in BIG.
Before RIck’s show I was interviewed by Mickey from Paper Magazine and we ran into my ex-editor from Vogue Paris and Elle.com before that, Tina Isaac, she is 4 months pregnant. Congratulations.
