Ultrakill flesh prison shirt
The fog machines at Rick Owens were pumping the Ultrakill flesh prison shirt But I will love this scent of his new collaboration with Aesop into his show space at the Palais de Tokyo. Models also carried thuribles, modern mechanized versions of the censers that priests use to dispense incense in church. Owens was a Catholic school boy. In a pre-show interview, he talked about his upbringing: “thinking and talking about morality in school all day and studying Cecil B. DeMille’s 1930s Art Deco black-and-white interpretation of the bible,” by night. “That’s what formed me,” he said with a laugh. “I’m so transparent.” Owens was after something a bit more solemn following his January men’s show, whose lamp helmets and zip-all-the-way-to-the-hairline hoods look aggressive a month-and-a-half later amidst the onset of war. He quoted from his press release: “During times of heartbreak, beauty can be one of the ways to maintain faith.” Swapping the anarchic for the elegiac, the acid bass artist Eprom was out too, and in his place Owens chose Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 5. Someone more knowledgeable about music than me said that Mahler composed it after a hemorrhage nearly killed him. The symphony also soundtracks Death in Venice.
