Rick Owens: Perilous to Your Health?

Rick Owens featured a smoke machine at his gother-than-thou show, but that wasn’t even the most hazardous feature of the afternoon. The danger occurred outside, as a stampede of guests struggled to file into the Ecole des Beaux-Arts venue. Just ask Anne Slowey: “I have a huge bump on my head!” she admitted later at Nina Ricci. “You can even feel it.” Kate Lanphear left with a bruise on her arm. Lenny Kravitz’s appearance might have brightened things up, but the embattled Elle editors weren’t prepared to sit through any more trauma. “We came inside, spoke to the publicist and left,” Slowey concluded. There was a upside to her day, however: the Stylista star and Stefano Tonchi took an afternoon road trip to Versailles to catch Jeff Koons‘ recently opened exhibit. How can Rick Owens ever make it up to these supportive editors? We suspect one of those leather jackets would make all injury forgotten.
