Get Puffy/Gonflé with Rick Owens & Samaritaine

 Yesterday I finally got to the RICK OWENS expo at Palais Galliera.

There was a huge storm/orage in Paris the night of the opening.

Rick Owens is one of a kind in American and French couture - his background story watch this (9 minutes).

Meanwhile the background music 🎵 at the exhibit & this post, listen to this. 

Dramatic!

Sculptural.

Astonishing designs.

Unlike most fashion exhibits at the Palais, where you need a flashlight 🔦 like at the Peter Jones hat 🎩 exhibit., 

Or Assidine Alaia exhibit.

Owens insisted the curtains be drawn. 🤸‍♂️An absolute first in my experience. Hurray 

Definitely a unique approach to clothing the body.

I was reminded of Owens’ dramatic swaths of fabric in this Notre Dame painting I passed by today. From the ‘Mays paintings of Notre Dame’.

Rick Owens’ bedroom/design source was in the exhibition!

After that I needed a pistachio ice cream cone🍦

From Cova tea salon at Pont Neuf.

And a quick browse at their lush pastries,

Before heading into wavy 🌊 floating Samaritaine.

The windows are full of pool 🏊‍♂️ floats.

Inside displays are on pool water rafts.

Don’t take a pin 💉 with you. You could do some serious damage 😂

Waterwings are the new, hot accessory.

You could buy mini blowup keychains?
