Jewelry Designer Melissa Joy Manning Talks Sustainability, Sourcing - WWD
Rick Owens returned to L.A. and took WWD along for the ride. “It’s smaller than it used to be,” says Owens of the city that helped shape his gritty, glam aesthetic. Or maybe it’s just that he’s bigger, being driven from place to place in a chauffeured black van with Michele — or Hun as he calls her — returning to L.A. for the first time since moving to Paris 16 years ago. He certainly is making the most of every L.A. minute, including blowing out birthday candles with Demi Moore, Jeremy Scott and Gucci Ghost on Friday night at a dinner party hosted by costume designer Arianne Phillips (“He is the new gold standard,” Phillips says of his success without the backing of a luxury conglomerate). He’s turning 58, 18 years sober, tanned and gym-toned as ever. Age doesn’t faze him. After going to watch the daredevils at the skate park on Venice Beach, he’s thinking he might actually take it up, “because I never did and why not?” Tap the link in bio to follow along on a drive through Hollywood with Rick Owens.
