Rick Owens Says He Wants to Be the Kenneth Anger of Fashion
Original: Rick Owens: ‘I Want to Be the Kenneth Anger of Fashion’
Fashion designer Rick Owens has declared that he wants to be 'the Kenneth Anger of fashion', invoking the American experimental filmmaker known for his occult, countercultural shorts such as 'Scorpio Rising'. The remark frames Owens's long-standing dark, transgressive aesthetic in explicit cinematic terms and offers a rare statement of artistic ambition from the designer.
Why now: People are talking about it because the designer openly framed his fashion career through the lens of a cult filmmaker, a striking artistic comparison.
