Mander - Yeah, I'm kinda left with the same question.  The women have been sexualized with nudity on the runway for years but not the men.  Speaks a lot about our society.   Mander on "Umm..Rick Owens exposing men!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ummrick-owens-exposing-men#post-1431054 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 01:01:20 +0000 Mander 1431054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I saw an article about this, and there were definitely bits clearly visible! I find it funny as well as interesting. Women's naked bodies are often on show, why not men's? approprio on "Umm..Rick Owens exposing men!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ummrick-owens-exposing-men#post-1431041 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 00:34:11 +0000 approprio 1431041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It was very subtle but there was definitely junk on show. Style.com may have missed it but DazedDigital has the candid camera.  <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.dazeddigital.com/fashion/article/23336/1/models-bare-their-penises-at-rick-owens">WARNING! </a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.dazeddigital.com/fashion/article/23336/1/models-bare-their-penises-at-rick-owens">NSFW!!!</a>  <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.dazeddigital.com/fashion/article/23336/1/models-bare-their-penises-at-rick-owens">DO NOT CLICK ON THIS LINK!</a> Spoiler: this is what Mr Edge wears under his kilt.

I guess the male models didn't want to resort to the double-sided tape trick for some reason... Angie on "Umm..Rick Owens exposing men!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ummrick-owens-exposing-men#post-1430852 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 19:42:08 +0000 Angie 1430852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ HAH. Some of the audience was too busy texting and missed the flashes. That's hilarious.  A remarkable show for sure. I've seen parts of  "down below" female private parts exposed on runway shows, but not the full monty. The male version might be a first, I think.  Jeanie on "Umm..Rick Owens exposing men!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ummrick-owens-exposing-men#post-1430847 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 19:32:48 +0000 Jeanie 1430847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ One runway report said there were 3 incidents of flashing.  To quote the article.... 'it was blink-and-you-miss-it — but many editors were cursing themselves afterward for missing them because they were too busy texting. They missed a fashion first.' Seems like some of the clothes were meant to show glimpses when the models walked.  Just interesting to see a male show go where the female shows have been for a while.    Angie on "Umm..Rick Owens exposing men!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ummrick-owens-exposing-men#post-1430812 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 18:30:45 +0000 Angie 1430812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Aha. The plot thickens, Jeanie. This is the outfit causing most of the controversy. Private parts are not on display. And that was the photo shown on Style. com to represent the outfit for the show: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashion-shows/fall-2015-menswear/rick-owens/collection/17">http://www.style.com/slideshow.....lection/17</a> I guess things were different when the garment shifted as the model walked down the runway. Or the above outfit was photoshopped for Style.com. I've just seen a different version of the outfit - to your point. Private parts display included. It's caused the hype I'm sure the designer hoped it would.  Jeanie on "Umm..Rick Owens exposing men!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ummrick-owens-exposing-men#post-1430801 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 18:00:07 +0000 Jeanie 1430801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hmmm Angie, well the shots I saw showed everything!  I realize it's a lot of theatrics but it does seem new to be showing male nudity.  Designers are artists and they are usually making a statement about something with their shows, yes? Anna, yeah I probably wouldn't have watched this show except the headline was intriguing.  ETA: You mean men won't be out in nightclubs wearing these clothes! Angie on "Umm..Rick Owens exposing men!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ummrick-owens-exposing-men#post-1430777 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 17:19:12 +0000 Angie 1430777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I just watched the show. I didn't see any male frontal nudity despite the holes on the crotch points of a few of the garments. Here is a link to the show:  <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.style.com/fashion-shows/fall-2015-menswear/rick-owens">http://www.style.com/fashion-s.....rick-owens</a> I am unfazed. Female models frequently wear see-through garments sans undies and some strut down the runway topless. That's much more conventionally revealing actually.  Runway shows are supposed to be theatrical, and celebrate drama (JPG is especially good at that. LV and Chanel too). Some of it is very extreme, and the items are not suppose to be wearable in person. It's about hyping up the brand so that you remember it - and hopefully visit the store and purchase something.  annagybe on "Umm..Rick Owens exposing men!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ummrick-owens-exposing-men#post-1430757 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 16:49:11 +0000 annagybe 1430757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Most if not all runway shows are designed to create buzz for the line. For example Karl Lagerfeld created a hula hoop bag for Chanel show that was never meant to go into production. It did generate a lot of fashion press. ETA think about it, would you have really looked at his men's show if you heard about the nudity? Jeanie on "Umm..Rick Owens exposing men!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ummrick-owens-exposing-men#post-1430615 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 08:07:28 +0000 Jeanie 1430615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great insight approprio.  I am familiar with Rick Owens fashion for women but I haven't seen his runway shows.  It looks like his shows, from the link you shared, are very theatrical.  I hadn't realized there was a big movement in mens wear except the shoes.  They have gone nuts with mens sneaker styling!  I guess this is one way to say hey, look here, stuff is going on with mens wear.  My eyes are surely open now! approprio on "Umm..Rick Owens exposing men!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ummrick-owens-exposing-men#post-1430613 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 07:16:27 +0000 approprio 1430613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh I'm so glad someone posted this! Saw it yesterday and was wondering how to mention it delicately.  Rick Owens has done incredible things on the catwalk in the past - you might remember the fierce <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0f-Mv6gfzM">dance troupe</a> from his SS2014 show. He's one of the few designers still committed to pushing boundaries in haute couture when everyone else is crumbling under the pressure of delivering a new collection every three months.  I don't think this was done simply for the shock value. Menswear is very much at the forefront of what's left of the avant-garde now, with many designers exploring ideas of sexuality and gender identity. It may be distasteful to some, but female nudity has been up for grabs in Western art since time immemorial, and turning the tables like this is a very powerful statement. It doesn't happen often enough in my opinion.  I'm still processing this, but I have a feeling this is going to be a tipping point of some kind. But don't worry, I don't think it's going to catch on. Except perhaps in certain kinds of nightclubs.  Jeanie on "Umm..Rick Owens exposing men!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ummrick-owens-exposing-men#post-1430598 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 06:21:30 +0000 Jeanie 1430598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I feel like if Ironkurtin was still around she would be bringing up this topic.  I miss her candor so in that spirit....did you see the latest news on the Rick Owens mens show?  The fashions had holes that exposed full male frontal nudity.  Is there a market for this or is this just a crazy runway show mania?  I am afraid to post the link here for fear of offending anyone but you can easily Google it.
