i-D asked iconic fashion designer Rick Owens to answer an array of weird and wonderful questions sent from his friends, family and peers including Sissy Misfit, Kris Van Assche, Stephen Jones, Gwendoline Christie, Ludovic de Saint Sernin and more.
Covering everything from queer history, sex clubs and his favourite films (you’d be surprised!) to life with muse-slash-partner Michèle Lamy and his new Dr. Martens collab, the Californian provocateur gives us a rare insight into his psyche.

I'm not big into fashion, I probably wouldn't even consider wearing any of this man's clothing because it's not for me. But he is just a great human. Very gentle, soft, and kind. You notice how he always gives credit to all those around him? I hope I am this gracious when I am his age, and to be this way after all his hard work and many accomplishments is a feat in itself. Thanks for the video

Rick is one of those designers who I have the upmost respect for and love their energy, but would never wear the vast majority of his clothing. I love that his sense of humor and the fact that he doesn't take everything so seriously, and that seems to have transferred to a lot of the people that enjoy his work.

I love that he is so open to sharing so much of his time and how he thinks. For people that work so hard to have such a deep and ethical generosity of spirit is very admirable. Even if he wasn’t one of the best designers in the world he would still be an utterly wise and wonderful and fascinating human. Plus he has some astronomical levels of zen. The Constantine Kaloutas shoot reminded me instantly of the art of Hannah Faith Yata. Very cool. Off to make persimmon cookies.

I've admired him for years and years. And I think he is one of the rare people I admire artistically who is also a really kind human being. It's so rare. I hope young creatives look to him as a role model. He truly has paved his own path, unique and weird as it is, stayed true to that, and been incredibly successful in that. So much YES.

The show he did with the handheld fog machines was brilliant, one of the best fashion shows ive seen in years. The fact that eventually the models kinda just disappear as the fog gets heavier so you only see flashes of the reflective garments!! Love

I think the lore behind Rick Owens the brand is that his brand is himself it’s not like other designers where the collections are an exploration of their mind expressed through style and silouhette. Rick is so authentic that he can drop similar looking collections but the subtle differences are what make them fresh

"I would be the head gardener at the Vatican" That is such a specific and interesting response, it like he's thought that question very thoroughly, yet awnsered it at a moments notice. You can tell he thinks a bout a lot of things. no other way to describe it.
