Interview Magazine: Rick Owens Interview
January 24th, 2011 / No Comments » / by Staff
Interview Magazine recently met with high-end fashion designer Rick Owens to converse about his role in fashion after his Paris fashion show. Check it out below.
ALICE PFEIFFER: Five years ago, you were at the forefront of a neo-Goth movement. Today, lots of other designers have been influenced by that aesthetic. How do you progress and move away from that?
RICK OWENS: When something is in the air, everyone is influenced, so I don’t really think of it like that. But in any case, you move on, you try to develop, grow and stay true to yourself.
PFEIFFER: Have you evolved much since you launched your label?
OWENS: I think so—I actually feel this show is a lot different from what I was doing five years ago, and hopefully in five years’ time I’ll be doing something different too. Again, you never radically change either, there is always a sense of continuation, every collection is an extension of the previous, some things are never going to change, and I will always still be me.
PFEIFFER: So what are you leaving behind, what are you keeping, and what are you introducing in your collection today?
OWENS: There is a lot more control today. Five years ago, I worked with the idea of collapse, downfall, abandon—now I work a lot more with control, which I find a very poignant idea, because one inevitably always fails. So I suppose I’m drawn to a control doomed to collapse.
PFEIFFER: And how do you feel about the collection we just saw ? Happy with the result?
OWENS: Well, I hope this looks like me! I hope it doesn’t look like I tried to do something tricky—because I’m very conscious of being consistent, no matter what else is happening in the world.
We are fans of Rick because he is often imitated but never duplicated. He is original and we believe his aesthetic is one he owns.

Ben G x Nike SB Blazer
October 28th, 2010 / No Comments » / by Staff
Highsnobiety does an interview with Ben G in his recent works with Nike. Instead of just doing the norm and talking about colors, materials, and appeal, HB sat down and talked with Ben to discuss the matter further.
HS: Hi Benny, hope all is good. So, you have worked again with Nike SB on a nice project. How did the process start?
BG: Well since i started the store and had an account with SB I’ve been bugging them to do a Ben G shoe. So i guess they got fat up with me at some point and thought my 5 year anniversary what the right time to do something.
From the looks of things the Blazer is inspired by a popular candy egg. Brand names aside, care to talk about why you decided on this color palette/theme?
Always been a fan of this product and i think everyone used to love it when they we’re young. The whole concept was perfect for a shoe referring the white pebbled leather tot the wrapping of the egg etc.
Also the fact that this concept was a good excuse to make a white and black Blazer since the suede black and white blazer is one of my all time favorite SB shoe’s to skate in….thank god it’s a carry over model!
