“Rick Owens has been immortalised by a 25 foot polystyrene sculpture on top of Selfridges' Oxford Street entrance. The naked torso was created from a maquette designed by the British sculptor Doug Jennings, and features a flaming torch that will burn for 12 hours a day, for a total of 552 hours. The statue is the pièce de résistance of ‘The World of Rick Owens’, a new collaboration between Rick Owens and Selfridges that marks twenty years since the Californian designer launched his eponymous label. He's also curated a series of window designs for the department store; three are influenced by the Richard Strauss opera Salome.” (Today in London: Rick Owens x Selfridges, FashionUnited)
