I love how he said it: "I study my own stuff more than other people's which is a terrible admission of some kind of ego, but that's how I feel I can make progress by setting the mistakes and successes of my past." -Rick Owens

That's a passionate man there. "Others may say its Ego but you are able to inspire yourself. Being honest is Key in success. Adore his work myself.

Why is that an admission of ego? I see it as an admission of high standards, critique & perfectionism. Why would anyone want to compare their art to another anyhow? Might it tarnish a thought or idea? How else would we progress and move forward if we didn't look at the past as an indicator? Sorry, I didn't sense anything profound or forward thinking in this statement. So, I disagree in how he said it. I don't love it. JMHO.

Calling All Hands On Deck! ego because if he is looking only at himself to get better there is a sliver of thought that says “i am the best”. which is considered egotistical in literal terms. but he’s utilizing it well 🤷🏻♂️
Whenever Rick Owens speaks, he exudes inner peace.

@@gregdahlen4375 I think he studies them so well that no matter what size you are the pieces in your size fit on you amazingly....I spent so much money on the biggest names in the fashion industry and many of them don't have this fitting...so often time you need to see a "sarta" (tailor in Italian) or many times you wasted money to be honest :-)
His home is actual goals regarding aesthetic.
Rick is a remarkable person. He's a huge inspiration to me and this clip captures so many reasons why. Nicely done NYT :)

So articulate yet so understandable.
That opening paragraph (about needing emptiness for creativity) translates the thoughts of many artists across this planet, into elegant speech.
He advances him self , and the world around him through looking at his past mistakes and making them better next collection, that’s a really beneficial way to be better.
spend like 600k in his stores, very humble brand

wowww this was circa the release of "moody" what an iconic rick collection, glad to see inside his mind at that time
He takes care of his body.....nice. Love from Australia 🇦🇺
He seems like someone who anyone, from any walk of life, could meet and walk away with the gold of true wisdom.
I love his design! Fit, elegant, super simple, unbalance in balance, dark or light, nobility, clean, good quality... the characteristic of neo-classic, modern and classic. He is a God gifted natural man!!!!

Inspiring words to hear from another artist that I deeply revere…
Grace ,warmth & intellect. His clothes wear well. Designed & Made to endure the exhaust of life’s wear and tear, better with Age. Like all thoughtful art !
I really like what he said about mood boards. He communicated that so clear and concise
