Fashion icon Rick Owens is taking bold steps at 63, proving he’s not afraid to stir the pot. The legendary designer has launched a fetish-themed OnlyFans, focused entirely on his bare feet.
In an interview with WWD, Owens explained that his new venture is about pushing back against societal rigidity.
“It is my way of saying, ‘Lighten up, don’t take it all so seriously.’ A little bit of wicked fun is elegant,” he shared. Owens said he’s tired of “prissy moralism” and judgment, and this is his way of reclaiming joy.
Inspired by 19th-century Italian aristocrat Virginia Oldoini, Countess of Castiglione, who spent her later years photographing only her feet, Owens sees his move as a creative way to embrace aging.
“I thought it was an interesting way of addressing aging,” he said.
Even though his team raised eyebrows, Owens insists this is nothing compared to his past stunts. “I’m like, I started my career with a picture of me pissing into my mouth,” he quipped. “I mean, this is the most innocent thing I’ve ever done.”
During Paris Fashion Week, he teased the foot-centric content at his “Temple of Love” retrospective at the Palais Galliera.
Interestingly, one person who might appreciate the content is Tyler, the Creator. The rapper once boldly tweeted, “I Watch Foot Porn. No Lie, I Have A Foot Fetish.” Last year, he reaffirmed that tweet with, “13 years still true I suck toes.”
