Prior to launching his latest fashion collection last month, Rick Owens announced plans to join an adult content platform. The designer will donate all earnings to The Allanah Foundation, which provides scholarships, mentorship programs, and resources for LGBTQ+ asylum seekers.
The nonprofit was founded by Allanah Starr, a Cuban-born American trans pioneer who also established La Maison Allanah, a Paris-based safe house for vulnerable LGBT+ individuals. Starr expressed appreciation for Owens’ decision to leverage his platform in this unconventional way to support the cause.
“I thought it was an interesting way of addressing aging,” Owens told WWD. “It is a response to the prissy moralism and judgment that I see in the world.”
It was around this time that Owens first gave fans a glimpse of his feet pics as part of his retrospective exhibition “Temple of Love,” which is currently on view at the Palais Galliera museum in Paris. Find the clip, along with a sample pic AND footage of his latest runway show, RICK OWENS SS26 MENS TEMPLE, after the jump!
And if you’re looking to contribute to Owens’ charitable gesture, access to his feet pics costs $5 for a monthly subscription. As of Thursday afternoon, there were four videos uploaded to the account.
