Rick Owens — Interview Excerpt

TL;DR — A magazine excerpt on punk, graffiti and how subcultures become the productive centre.

Six pages of a fashion-magazine feature, turning on an irony it states directly: what read as “amateur, trendy, and of-the-moment” — punk and graffiti — proved over the following two decades to be among the most productive domains in culture.

A small, well-put observation about how the disreputable becomes the canonical, and how reliably the judgement of the moment gets it backwards.
