I very much dig Rick Owen’s leather jackets. They are everything leather jackets should be – tough, sleek and ultimately cool. During my next round of leather jacket buying season, I will buy one or two from him. When I think of Rick Owens, I also think of the dramatic factor and he is known to turn the dial up on that front quite a bit. A great example is/are these pair of platform wedge boots.
Available in two version – a snakeskin one and a waxed suede version. You can’t help but ask for attention in both pairs with the snakeskin pair demanding more looks. I am on the fence on this one – I am all for gender blending and androgyny but I can’t help but think this is a tad too much.
It takes a whole load of attitude and character to properly carry this off. I don’t think I can and I know it’s just not my style. But these will definitely start conversations so either go all out or not at all…
Get the Rick Owens Snakeskin Platform Wedge Boots for US$2999.04 and the Rick Owens Suede Platform Wedge Boots for US$1653.60 at Oki-Ni.
