THURSDAY……
For those of you readers, who are unaware, yesterday began Men’s Fashion Week in Paris. As someone who has known for four years now that she wants to work on fashion shows as a profession after college, this was very exciting news. Not only would we be in Paris, but we actually have the opportunity to dress the models back stage during some of these shows! So, on our ninth day in the beautiful city of Paris, we dressed models at the Rick Owens Menswear show which was shown in the POPB, Salle Marcel Cerdan.
The pieces were amazing. All of Rick Owens designs are in black or white and manipulated in a way that one immediately recognizes his work. There were 43 looks which varied from black or white pants with suit jackets to maxi dresses.. all for men. Of course all the pieces were marked with the Rick Owens signature: two lines down the back, which appear to be seams. The looks were topped off with sunglasses that covered more than the necessary amount of the model’s face. Everything went so quickly and smoothly that I was amazed when it was over. Working this show once again reaffirms that I absolutely love this industry. I am so grateful for this amazing trip and wonderful opportunity.
