Rick Owens is a great designer, and like a lot of creative people, he can be a little weird sometimes. From defending his choice to show penises in his runway show, to comparing art to "waiting for a boner to happen," some of his ideas are head scratchers but we accept them because art. Around the time of the Fall/Winter 2015 show, Owens posted a video on his YouTube page that is by far the strangest thing we have ever seen him do.
The designer worked again with photographer Danielle Levitt on a piece titled "RO HF," a black-and-white short film that involves a mostly naked Owens dancing around to music by Bames, a guy with a chainsaw, and a scene that could best be described as insinuated bestiality. There is no information attached to the film beyond the production credits, and after seeing it a couple times, we have quite a few questions. Check it out below, and try not to have nightmares.
