SEPTEMBER 2008

</p>

HOW WILL THE LONDON STORE DIFFER FROM THE PARIS STORE? HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE CONCEPT? 

WHEREAS THE PARIS STORE IS PLUSH AND INSULATED AND HIDDEN IN THE COLONNADES OF THE PALAIS ROYAL, THE LONDON STORE IS MORE OF A TOWNHOUSE WITH NICE HIGH CEILINGS. THERE'S MORE WHITE SPACE TO STRETCH OUT AND SHOW FURNITURE. THE PARIS STORE SHAMELESSLY HAS A WAX FIGURE OF ME IN THE CORNER AND THE LONDON STORE WILL FOLLOW SUIT WITH MY WAX HEAD ON A PLATE IN HOMAGE TO YOUR MR. WILDE'S 'SALOME,' MY FAVORITE OPERA. 

HOW BIG WILL THE STORE BE? 

250 SQUARE METERS. 

WHAT RANGES WILL BE CARRIED IN STORE? MENS', WOMENS', ACCESSORIES, LILIES? 

EVERYTHING RICK OWENS, INCLUDING FAVORITE THINGS I ORDER JUST FOR THE STORES: SPECIAL MINI-COLLECTIONS, MY FAVORITE DVDS AND TOYS, AND SELECTIONS FROM OTHER DESIGNER FRIENDS LIKE GARETH PUGH, OF COURSE. 

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE THING ABOUT LONDON?
