Rick Owens, makes dark beautiful clothes that have details that really draw you in. His dark, Gothic aesthetic is lean, mysterious and strong although I don’t know if the prices of his pieces go with the anti-establishment sentiment of said goth movement. But nevertheless, there are always individuals like the AFI guys (one of my fav bands) who can certainly afford his pieces.
I digress. I saw this pair of jeans and I was inexplicably drawn to the zipper detail. It instantly gives an edge and an elevation of toughness that goes perfectly with this pair of jeans. The flap on the front pocket provides another sliver of detail that I really dig.
But then I look at the back and I am greeted with two jumbo pockets that honestly just spoil it for me. Their sheer size take away the sleekness of this piece and really just look unnecessary. Plus, they would look too overwhelming if you are shorter than 5’10. Which is a shame because aside from the pockets, this is a kick-ass pair of jeans. Shame.
