ZENDAYA: A RED CARPET MOMENT TO REMEMBER

Zendaya scored a home run with this white asymmetrical dress at the London premier of Dune – and the 5’10” beauty prowled the red carpet like a supermodel. She only had small part in the movie but got a lions share of attention. What a treat to see a beautiful dress with no overt sexuality and nary a sequin in sight! Zendaya’s stylist Law Roach AKA “image architect” has a knack for always making her look special. The gown was created by Rick Owens (the designer that Kanye really wants to BE) and it’s available at his online store for $4,100.00.

Fashion Michele Lamy Rick Owens

RICK OWENS WAS ONCE A SWEET CALIFORNIA GUY- WITH STYLE TO BURN

Speaking of designer Rick Owens, here’s an outfit from his latest collection. Owens started out in LA – we fondly remember back in the 90’s shopping at his first store on Las Palmas – a seedy side street in Hollywood. His clothing was part grunge, part goth – and quite expensive, but unbearably desirable! Rick’s French girlfriend/partner Michele Lamy opened the celebrity hotspot Le Deux across the street and she gave his business a huge boost. They ended up getting married, moving to Paris, and the rest is history. We still have one of his t-shirts from those days…

Fashion Game of Thrones Gwendolyn Christie Rick Owens

GWENDOLYN CHRISTIE: BIGGER IS BETTER

At 6’3”, English actress Gwendolyn Christie was discouraged early on from becoming an actress, but she persevered. She started out playing awkward office workers, aliens, policewomen, and finally landed a role in Game of Thrones. That changed everything. Suddenly designers “discovered” her and they love to take advantage of the fact that she attracts a lot of attention. Lately Gwendolyn has been turning up on red carpets looking fabulous and she’s in Paris right now fearlessly flashing this Rick Owens creation.

Erykah Badu Fashion Rick Owens Soul Train Awards

ERYKAH BADU IS FEARLESS ON THE RED CARPET

The Soul Train Awards show is always a fashion extravaganza, and Erykah Badu took first place for most courageous look of the night. Erykah nabbed this outfit, head to toe, right off of Rick Owens’ runway. Questions abound: how DID she manage to move in the towering futuristic wire headpiece, and how DID she manage to speak with that harness hooked into her mouth? Few performers would even attempt this look and it’s appropriate that Erykah accepted the Legend Award at the event last night.

Fashion Michele Lamy Rick Owens

RICK OWENS AND MICHELE LAMY: A MEETING OF THE MINDS

We love the story of Rick Owens and Michele Lamy. In the 90’s, French-born Michele opened a superhot nightspot Le Deux Café in a parking lot in Hollywood. It so happened that young designer Rick Owens had a funky shop across the street where he sold his expensive but super-creative designs. (We never missed a sale.) They met, and it was a match made in heaven. Eccentric and impetuous, Michele became his muse and inspiration. They packed up and moved to Paris where she inspired him to become the important designer he is today. Anything goes with Michele – from gold plated teeth to tattooed fingers, while Rick is an all-black character. A modern couple.

Kanye West Rick Owens

KANYE WEST TO RICK OWENS: IMITATION IS THE SINCEREST FORM OF FLATTERY!

Fashionistas can always count on designer Rick Owens to show them a good time at his runway presentations. This visually creative but somewhat unwearable-in-real-life outfit is from Owens’ fall 2017 menswear collection. (He also makes some very cool and more wearable stuff.) We happen to be longtime fans of Rick Owens designs – he started out with a small shop in Hollywood. Kanye West is also a huge fan – in fact we notice that Kanye’s fashion collection has more than a coincidental resemblance to Rick’s designs! Yes, we are accusing Kanye West of knocking off Rick Owens’ ideas! Next time Kanye introduces a new seasonal collection – compare it to past designs by Owens and you’ll see what we mean.

Bill Kaulitz Paris Rick Owens Shopping Tokio Hotel

TOKIO HOTEL’S BILL KAULITZ ATTEMPTS TO SHOP WITHOUT FANFARE

Tokio Hotel singer Bill Kaulitz,20, can’t help but attract attention when he attempts to go shopping in Paris. The German band is touring Europe to promote their new album “Humaniod” and female fans won’t leave them alone. When Bill left the Plaza Athenee, he took a bodyguard along so he could shop at the Rick Owens boutique. Rick started with a modest store off Hollywood Boulevard and now he’s the toast of Paris. We wonder if Bill buys the women’s line or the men’s.
