Rick Owens has never been afraid of a little subversion:’ Getting Into Feet Pics’
The 63-year-old designer off-handedly mentioned to WWD this week that he’s starting an OnlyFans page exclusively devoted to content starring his feet, my first thought was, Well, it’s about time.
While discussing his retrospective exhibit at Paris’s Palais Galliera, which opened to the public on Thursday, Owens pronounced that he “will be doing transgression till the day I die, because that is my protest,” adding that “it is a response to the prissy moralism and judgment that I see in the world.
It is my way of saying, ‘Lighten up, don’t take it all so seriously.’
A little bit of wicked fun is elegant.” Three decades after launching his namesake label, a “bit of wicked fun” apparently now means posting suggestive photos of his piggies for his subscribers.
WWD reports that Owens “casually mentioned that he’s opening an OnlyFans account based on his feet,” though it’s unclear how exactly he relayed this information.
Rick Owens has never been afraid of a little subversion.
In fact, I’d argue it’s kind of his whole thing (e.g., bondage, pee play, and that one time he hung the entire Estonian metal band Winny Puhh from the ceiling during a runway show in 2013).
The designer admitted that his colleagues weren’t thrilled about his new business venture, but he isn’t bothered. “I started my career with a picture of me pissing into my mouth,” he said.
“I mean, this is the most innocent thing I’ve ever done.” Best of luck to Owens in this new creative endeavor, and may he attract only the richest, most respectful foot fetishists.
