For every Khaite and The Row fashion girlie, there is her Rick Owens-loving counterpart. She wears all-black pieces that have a structural edge and pairs her Rick ‘fits with Margiela Tabis. She smells like an elusive fragrance that you just can’t quite pin down (it’s not a Byredo perfume, but it could be D.S. and Durga.) Both style archetypes are cool, no doubt, and appreciate the art of fashion just as much as they do its wearability. Some fashion folks even oscillate between both aesthetics: their looks are quiet luxury-inspired one moment, then dark and vampy at the next. In a black, grunge-y puffer coat and leggings, Kendall Jenner channeled a gothic aprés ski style that perfectly encapsulates the latter look.
Yesterday at the FWRD party in Aspen, we saw the retailer's creative director trade her penchant for minimalism for…well, more minimalism, just in Rick Owens form. Her outfit wasn’t necessarily groundbreaking, but it was surely a departure from Jenner’s usual rotation of sleek dresses and wardrobe basics.
