Rick Owens Lovers Thread

[_debi_]

I think I saw the Gareth Pugh this weekend -- really nice leather if so!

I did see a smaller version of the Rick bag in a matte, aged kind of leather -- it was very rectangular -- felt like stuff was going to get lost in the corners.

The leather is nice, but the bag is super stiff and doesn't sit right when it's on, so they are both going back sadly!! I think I will wait and get this one when they do their sale http://www.lindelepalais.com/en-US/product/9426. Is that the one you saw? It does look like things would go missing..... But if I can get a good discount on that one I won't mind if it's not perfect.

Thank you Marina for the hair compliment !

As promised a few extra pictures -- I'm not sure where the brown undertones are coming from -- have not noticed that.

The fur shots are it laying opened up, sideways, if that makes sense

Wore it this weekend -- it was pretty warm with the hood up

Awesome!

Does anyone know if it's cheaper to buy RO in Europe vs. the US? I'm heading to Paris tonight and would love to get a jacket there.

Yes I'm pretty sure things are cheaper here than in the US.

Congrats Jenskar! I was stalking your pix (btw I LOVE YOUR HAIR!!!) and finally decided to get the same jacket too from LVR! But I'm not sure about getting a fur jacket... may need to return it. We'll see...
Do you have any pix of you wearing it with the fur side out?
I see that one pic has the fur lined on the sleeves as well, it seems??? That's pretty cool, I was expecting the sleeves to be unlined or just cotton.
How's the quality of the lamb fur?
Lastly, is it really RO, or DRKSHDW? I was doing some research and I know several previous versions were issued in the DRKSHDW line... Here are some pix that I've assembled for everyone's enjoyment:







Thanks for answering my questions, I guess I can answer my own questions soon when the parcel arrives, but I'm the impatient type

>>>>>> Haven't taken any of fur side out -- will try to do that when there's some light!

>>>>>>> It is Drkshdw. And I would have killed for the black on black (and it looks like those sleeves were leather!) The NYC boutique had it last year but sold out before I could buy it. The one I got is the fur color of your bottom pic, but darker cotton (that pic looks like a Drkshdw kind of grey to me)

The lambfur at first look -- I wasn't 100% thrilled but the longer I have it the more fluffed up it seems to get -- the night I wore it out it was frosty and with the hood up I was very happy with it.

Rats re: the bag stiffness.

I like that bag in your link -- it's not the one I saw. The one I saw was an east/west rectangle. This one looks MUCH nicer.

I am ogling a Henry Cuir bag on sale at Barneys. However, it is Mr. Jenskar's and my major wedding anniversary in a few weeks, so I must refrain from shopping for a bit to pay for his present.

Thanks!

I actually like the dark grey/brown fur with the black! I think it provides a nice contrast as opposed to the black on black. And I'm not fond of the olive green color, so this is the best combo for me!
Yeah, I would have loved if RO did leather sleeves, but I guess it would be hard to make it reversible. I actually think from the pix, the black on black one has viscose/silk lining sleeves cuz it seems more shiny than his usual leathers... Then again, it's hard to tell without a detailed pic.

Anyhoo, enjoy your new jacket, you look fab in it!

dcblam is a horrible influence ... on the way from Slovenia:

 

[thesassygirl2]

Yay! I don't think you will regret it. And I also don't think it will be too shiny, that's probably just the photo.



I've just done some comparing with my dark dust shearling that I'm wearing today. It's the exact same style. The differences I notice are that the zipper is exposed which it isn't on mine, I don't have anything stamped on the bottom bit of the back side of the zip, my code is LSH and mine doesn't have the Palais Royal thing printed on the tag. I got mine from NAP. These things don't necessarily mean it's fake though, it could just be a different style. Though the pics aren't that clear the leather still looks nice. Is this listed on eBay? Maybe who is selling it could give you more clues.



The bag arrived, it's really nice, but... too big The leather is great, really soft and lush, and there are lots of really useful pockets inside. But it just swamps me, and I don't need that much space so it would be barely half full most of the time. But for someone that carries lots of stuff around all the time it could be a great bag. Still waiting on the Gareth Pugh, the UPS man has yet to arrive..... This is the GP one http://www.thecorner.com/gb/women/large-leather-bag_cod45183393fj.html

After much limited research, I think the Jardin Du Palais Royal is stamped on the items sold specifically at the Rick Owens store located at the actual Jardin Du Palais Royal in Paris. Can anyone with more knowledge confirm this?

My jacket should be arriving soon, so hopefully I can know more when I see it in person.

Right after I posted the above, I found new information on Rick Owens:

In 2007 he started designing his own women fur collection under the label JARDIN DU PALAIS ROYAL, named after his Paris boutique opened there the year before.

So his newest company/collection is called Jardins du Palais Royal. It is named after his Paris boutique and makes only items with fur/shearling it looks like. I am assuming this confirms authenticity of my jacket because I've noticed he prints the name of his collection on the tags! yay?[/b]

The Palais Royal line was renamed to HUN.

the palais royale line generally has a sterling silver tag in it. i have no doubt of the authenticity of the jacket by the sounds of it, and as stated above, palais royale is now called HUN , named after his pet name for wife/muse michelle lamy

 

[jenskar]

As in HUN, pass the shearling, please ...

Yeah by all means I wouldn't know every coat he's ever done, especially the ones that were Palais Royal. Just pointing out the differences I noticed with mine which is the same style. The line was renamed to HUN just this past FW.

I'm sure you'll be able to tell when you see the coat by the look and feel whether it's genuine. I doubt there are even fakes made of these things? But who knows.

As in HUN, pass the shearling, please ...

Hello all, just want to show you all the jacket I ordered last week with your helps to pick !

Size 44 is perfectly fit! The leather is amazingly soft! just a bit surprise is inaccurate product details i was told. i wrote to Antonioli prior to my order to confirm the leather type and country of origin, I was told it is calf leather and made in Italy, End up the tag says it is lamb leather and made in Moldova. I m still happy with the jacket but I think they are supposed to provide proper info to shoppers especially this is vital for online shopping during the selection process!

Rick Owens DRKSHDW FW12 Reversible Lamb Fur Hoodie:

My goodness! This jacket weighs more than my CAT! lol It's definitely my warmest coat ever, even more so than my Mackage and Moncler jackets combined! You really don't need to wear anything thick underneath, just a simple T-shirt and you're ready to face Winter!





Fur side in:


Fur side out:
This is my preferred way of wearing this jacket. I've added a thick belt to give it more definition rather than just one big blob of fur...




Lastly, more mod pix (no belt this time):

that looks great on you CEC.LV4eva! thanks for all the variations model pics.

 

[jenskar]

I love the jacket on you Cec -- who takes all your great pictures (or do you set your camera up and use an auto shutter?) --
Great comment about the weight -- it is a hefty baby, isn't it?

Have you noticed that the fur starts to get softer as you wear it? At first it looked a bit manicured to me, but I'm finding it gets a better hand the more I wear it out.

Happy for you! Who's next?

Mimi -- do you like your jacket? I'm not expert but I don't think that jacket in calf would be as nice, it couldn't possibly drape as well. My husband has one of the calf leather jackets and it's quite stiff.
