18th October 2024 – (Beijing) International fashion designer Rick Owens and his entourage were met with an unusual request during their recent visit to the historic grounds of Beijing’s Forbidden City. Despite the absence of strict dress codes within the premises, the group, including Owens’ wife Michele Lamy and the founders of the avant-garde brand Fecal Matter, was promptly instructed to “return in ordinary attire,” ultimately leading to their swift departure.

Rick Owens, an internationally acclaimed fashion maestro, stands distinguished for his bold and gothic design aesthetics, having been honoured with the CFDA Lifetime Achievement Award and the Best Menswear Designer accolade.

Known for their unconventional and striking appearances, Rick Owens, Michele Lamy, and the innovators behind Fecal Matter embarked on a tour of the Forbidden City, only to face expulsion by vigilant security personnel.

Rick Owens, a luminary in the realm of fashion, earned the prestigious CFDA Lifetime Achievement Award in 2017 and was recognised as the Best Menswear Designer in 2019.

Fecal Matter, encapsulated by their avant-garde and unconventional style, shared their encounter through an Instagram story, expressing their discontent over being asked to shed their distinctive appearance and don conventional garments before re-entry, leading to their immediate exit.
The duo from Fecal Matter, renowned for their distinctive and unconventional style, have sparked debates on self-expression and cultural sensitivity in public spaces, underscoring the significance of respecting traditional norms in historically and culturally significant locations.

When in Rome, do as Romans do. When I went to Bali for the first time decades ago, I didn't know the dress code for the Hindu temples there. Went to a temple in bermudas and was denied entry. Ended up borrowing a sarong to wear into the temple.

Only Chinese don't have dress codes. They wear whatever they want to. Temples and churches. And even funeral and weddings.
