If anyone is headed to NY -- you might enjoy checking out the new Met show Punk: Chaos to Couture
Having lived it, I'd admit it's a bit weird to find God Save the Queen t-shirts in the Met however, because the curators decided to show how Punk had enfused high fashion (up to pieces from various 2013 collections, there were some intriguing associations on display.
They put a Rick horn vest/dress in the Bricalage section. Was like seeing an old friend.
Unlike the McQueen show, no lines, no timed tickets

jenskar, i definitely intend on seeing it. i'm assuming that one of the reasons why it isn't all that popular is because the curators/exhibit didn't get very good reviews on how it 'cleaned-up' punk for the exhibit. Although understandably they are taking a 'fashion' take on it, some see it as a misrepresentation for the more colorful political take on Punk. All this as through the eyes of Vivienne Westwood, in an interview I saw with her.
Still as an exhibit, I still would like to see all the pieces, even if it all cleaned up!
I need RO expert ladies' help!
So I scored this RO jacket from Myhabit (after someone returned it) but I noticed that the tag is different from other RO jackets I have. Has RO changed their tag in FW12? Just worried it could be fake since it was a returned one (I heard some people actually switch and return)...
The tag from my recent purchase:
The tag from my previous season jacket:
Also, has anyone have any experience with the leather LBQ? I haven't seen this leather code before.
Finally, I noticed that it's "padded" so the inside non-leather part of the collar has horizontal stitches unlike traditional RO jackets. What do you think of this? The same jacket from farfetch:

What do you think of this jacket? Yay or Nay?
I like that it's very warm for winter since it's "padded" and I'm always a huge fan of peplum style but not sure about the horizontal stitching on the collar. Close up pic of the collar of my jacket from farfetch:

I saw the horizontal lining stitching in NY at Barney's last week and love it -- made me want jackets I already own to have that lining. Nuts.I need RO expert ladies' help!

But, I am behaving. I do have something in my cart on the Outnet (shhhhh, don't tell!)
Chloe -- absolutely cleaned up Punk -- but Punk was always commercial -- the kids didn't think it was but McLaren definitely knew what he was up to imho. The kids who lived it in the clubs, they were the real deal, but the art dealers and everyone else? They were making money. I like to remember it as more purist than anything is now, but that was also because you could live in the West Village in the 70's for $300 a month.
I want to see some goodies everyone! Who's shopping, as I can't. I'll send you pictures of my Santa Fe "garden" if you like .....
why is this thread so dead atm? surely someone is rocking some rick or buying stuff.....?
i dunno about buying...but i am often rocking some rick, just not taking too many photos these days 
i'm sure others are doing so as well. maybe we can come to some agreement on this thread that once a month, we have to post (like in other subforums) 'what RO are you wearing today?'.

Hi ro experts!
I have a question.. I met my friends friend a couple days ago and she had just gotten her dry cleaning so she had a jacket /cardigan with her. It seemed like it was a mohair blend knit in the front / sides / underside of the arms and the top side of the arms was a sweatshirt material. The girl said it was Rick Owens lilies but my friend said she never spends that much on clothing so might not be?
it also didn't have the signature super long sleeves that I usually associate with Rick Owens.. I did a quick search and can't find anything similar so before I went on a mad search for this cardigan, wanted to make sure this was one of his pieces. Has anyone seen something like this ? Thanks!
