Rick Owens Fall 06 RTW

(bottom black biker jacket Rick Owens)

I love the way Rick Owens does jackets. They are so unique, so cool, and very hard core hip.
Style.com had this to say of his Fall 06 RTW collection:

PARIS, February 26, 2006 – With all those layers of wool felt, cashmere, and fur blanketing the runways in New York and Milan, this is Rick Owens' moment. Few designers do dark quite like he does, and he played to his strengths for fall with such items as an extraordinary, apocalyptic black puffer coat that looked as if it were sewn from an inflated life raft. Who knows if it’ll float, but it hugged the torso like a dream, its lapels rising almost to the chin then cutting away just above the waist to a tapered back.Owens worked less statement-making fabrics into similar body-framing shapes. Some of his best jackets came in silvery linen inset with shrunken vests of peachy-gold washed leather. Those orchid-petal lapels he did last season? They've blossomed into double-breasted jackets. -style.com
