Rick Owens and Michèle Lamy disclose ten of their most influential texts – from Alice in Wonderland to The Torture Garden 📚
From their meeting in Los Angeles during the late 1980s to the rambling, raw concrete home they now share on the Left Bank, designerhave shaped their own, idiosyncratic world. Its fearless, darkly beautiful spirit is echoed in this guest-edit of DOCUMENT, a collection of literary works from the 19th century to the present day that have wired their imaginations.
Lamy’s selections include the playful surrealism of Lewis Carroll; Henry Miller on a stroll through the sights, sounds and sexual preferences of 1930s Paris; and a glimpse into the pin-sharp mind of Susan Sontag through excerpts from the journal she kept during a languid trip to Tangier in 1965. There is David Foster Wallace’s mordantly funny story of one marriage’s complications in the bedroom, and some jewel-bright words from Langston Hughes in his poem,.
“Susan Sontag has accompanied me all these years. She wrote about everything that made up our life – conflicts; Aids and illness; human rights; art and culture – with brio and controversy. I chose these fragments of her Journal because it’s so great to be able to peek inside her head, to guess and feel and belong.” – Michèle Lamy“This real email exchange is about the eternal human condition of trying to make a connection, taken to a hallucinatory, operatic level.
