oh my goth \/\/ rick owens f/w 09

Remember in 1992 when Marc Jacobs sent all those ripped apart, layered looks down the Perry Ellis runway? The ones that simultaneously spawned nearly a generation of plaid-clad youth and also got MJ fired? Well, back in those days my all black, leather and lace aesthetic was deeply influenced by that grunge runway, and I have recently developed a deep nostalgia for those goth days. Nothing has hit a nerve more deeply than the Rick Owens F/W 09 line.

Whatever I actually looked like in my youth, this is what I was going for. I love the funnel neck leather jacket atop the black satin minidress atop the white cotton minidress atop the ribbed grey leggings with the always exquisite Rick Owens boots.

I also love the sparse pale grey and black color palette that dominated his runway. It is my deepest wish that this is the runway that spawns a generation of admirers and teenage copycats. I mean, seriously, what would be cooler than a high school full of kids that look like this?

    Cool but I come across this blog looking for totally other things. probably means that this page has visibility for a word that I’m sure doesn’t seem to be appropriate to the subject you are writing about in your blog

    High Goth Fashion… Not really what Goth was about, like Punk it should be about ‘The Kids’ expressing themselves, not the Artists
