Rizzoli is set to release a look back at the history of the Rick Owens collection as well as the designer himself. The book, Rick Owens, was designed by Owens himself. The single volume collections the full-span of his career with images “detailing all aspects of the designer’s work and sensibility. The visual narrative of this book provides an instructive look at the process of design from an artist who is at once comfortable with innovation and respectful of traditional approaches.” Coming this October 2011.

Highsnob points out these excellent mountain hikers from the Moncler V collection. “Coming in both black and brown leather, the boots feature tricolor detailing on the mid-sole, while otherwise remaining rather classic. Inspired by the visvim Serra silhouette, the boots have been equipped with only the best: waxed leather upper, calf leather lining, leather mid-sole and Vibram outer sole.”

Technical apparel is one of our favorite areas of growth today in fashion. A great number of strong lines have emerged that bring fashion forward ideas to a technical outerwear world that was looking for a re-lift. Triple Aught Design is one of the forerunners in the technical fashion sphere. For their Autumn 2011 lookbook, they took their wears on an adventure with two of their favorite expedition teams: Team Rubicon, known for their emergency response work as well as Bay Area Expeditions. What you see in the look is how the garments work as they should in the wild. See than at Project 10 next week in Las Vegas.
