Rick Owens Babel SS19 Stitch Hoodie

Size S A black hoodie from Rick Owens' Spring/Summer 2019 “Babel” collection, traced with fine geometric stitching. The angular lines cross one side of the body, standing out against the dark fabric, while long pale drawstrings extend down the front. Babel drew on the biblical tower and Vladimir Tatlin's unrealised architectural project, exploring the tension between structure and disorder. Grids and intersecting lines became a recurring visual language of the season. On this piece, that idea appears as a loose diagram across a flowing silhouette. The precise stitched lines and relaxed cut pull in different directions, giving an otherwise quiet hoodie a clear connection to the collection.
