PRS_071 Tecuatl, Rick Owens, 2020
V split cocoon crepe dress: 'Poblana' pelleovo cotton peplum coat: metal crown.
Owens fancies himself a 'deranged aesthete', and confesses that he is 'very superficial', continuing: 'unfortunately, when it comes to art, I need a work to have the prestige of history attached to it'.
This design blends Aztec art and Fritz Lang's film Metropolis (1927), along with a very Egyptian sense of monumentality that was established as part of European visual culture in the early days of Egyptomania, at the very end of the 18th century. The dress, with its side hoops and sensual pleats, is matched by the almost pharaonic headdress. At his home in Venice, a sarcophagus guards the designer's space.
