Rick Owens - "FAUN" S/S 2015

Collection for S/S 2015 under the name 'FAUN' was inspired by Nijinsky's "L'Après-Midi d'un Faune Debut" for the Ballets Russes in 1912, which is widely considered to be the birth of modern dance. Therefore this collection represents balance between tradition and modern world and also it tells us - expect the unexpected. Mr. Owens is always full of surprises.
"I was thinking about the ballet Afternoon of a Faun, choreographed by Nijinsky. It basically all culminates with this faun masturbating on a nymph’s scarf, so everybody in the audience, with all their jewels, are just waiting for this guy to hump the scarf. I love that!" –  explained Rick Owens after the show.

UMASAN creates avant-garde ‘feel-good’ fashion with innovative fabrics and sophisticated Japanese cutting technique. UMASAN is creating a brave new world combining high end taste with the latest innovation regarding the longevity of planet earth and its inhabitants.
For S/S 2015 vegan brand UMASAN explained:
"Character (greek: kharakter, a making instrument) was originally a distinctive mark impressed, engraved or otherwise formed.  The word later generally came to mean an enduring imprint or the peculiar, persistent nature of something, evident in all its individual expressions and impressions, and distinguishing it from everything else. But above all the word is used as a description of the peculiarity of a willing being, as becomes apparent in its actions.  The UMASAN SS 2015 Collection searches and strengthens the relationship of the individual to his inner world, and dedicated to her, where we ourselves refuse any form of dogmatism.”
