But the designer known for his gothic aesthetic has created a new range with a warmer influence \u2013 his mother\u2019s homeland of Mexico. Has the \u2018Donald Judd of fashion\u2019 gone soft?This year, designer Rick Owens and his partner Mich\u00e8le Lamy went to Mexico for the first time. \u201cI\u2019ve never really explored my Mexican heritage, even though my mother was from there,\u201d says Owens. \u201cBut I was thinking about using it for my next clothing collection.\u201d He returned to Paris inspired by what he\u2019d seen. \u201cNot the pi\u00f1atas and the Frida Kahlo Mexico,\u201d he says. \u201cMore the hot colours that Luis Barrag\u00e1n used, and Aztec architecture, and the photographs that Josef and Anni Albers took there in the 1930s, which I saw at the Guggenheim in Venice last year. Loud colours. And sequins.\u201d Sequins? Colours? From the man who loves grey? \u201cYeah!

It\u2019s like my version of wallpaper.\u201d Continue reading&#8230;&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource : theguardian.com&#013;<br \/>\nRead more&#8230;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/lifeandstyle\/2019\/sep\/26\/rick-owens-brutalist-furniture\" target=\"_blank\">Rick Owens: &#8216;I love art nouveau.
