You guys, everyone loves Rick Owens. Sure, we love Phoebe, Karl, and Marc too, but judging from the amount of black, grey, and leather floating about FIT, you would think Rick Owens had a divine intervention at some point in the admissions process. It got extreme: People actually started stealing from Century 21. One afternoon a meet-up with one of my coolest friends gave way to conversation about his incredible new coat. Yes, it was rogue Owens–and soon, other people started showing up in their rogue ‘finds’ too. Word of stealing Rick Owens from Century 21 spread like wildfire and became one of FIT’s biggest trends for 2010.
