Normally, the whole darkness-is-me Rick Owens- and Damir Doma-inspired aesthetic tends to bore me somewhat but with the publication of the latest STYLED editorial from Oki-ni I’m seeing all those gothic nuances in an entirely different light.
^ STYLED by Hiroshi Hashiguchi for Oki-ni.com
Curated by emerging London-based stylist Hiroshi Hashiguchi (who’s also done some impressive work for Dazed), the shoot draws almost exclusively on the current season collections of four of fashion’s most brooding: Neil Barrett, Martin Margiela, Damir Doma and Rick Owens, and excellently reflects the designers’ own individual – if somewhat similar – styles whilst combining them into one coherent edit that’s as delicate and romantic as it is unyielding and dark.

Whatever it is, the more sun I see, the more black I want to buy. Reckon I’ll blame it on the sad but sweet sound of Zola Jesus…

Seriously want the Silent jacket, and it made me look at the BBS cold dyed coat in a different light.
