(Picture: Rick Owens by Danielle Levitt )Rick Owens spends his summers in Venice, from May to October. He’s there now, waiting for his breakfast delivery: coffee, croissants, eggs and avocado on toast. ‘One of the most civilised things you can do is have a daybed and a hot coffee on the beach in the morning. I’ve got my toes in the sand and it’s a sparkling day,’ he says.
This is not a scene that you would expect a fashion designer who has been described as ‘the lord of darkness’ to appear in. But Owens has always straddled the line between the grotesque and the beautiful.
