Rick Owens’s Mom Doesn’t Like to Look at the Sculpture of Him Peeing

In this month's Interview magazine, Rick Owens talked to Dior Homme designer Kris Van Assche about what his parents think of his job. "Well, they’re a little puzzled. But they try to be kind," said Owens. Do they go to Owens's store to see the wax sculpture of him urinating? "Yeah, they don’t look. There are a lot of things that they’ve chosen not to look at in my life. The way that my mom puts it, she goes, 'Well, as long as nobody gets hurt.'" [Interview]
