What is the sexuality of Rick Owens?

Rick Owens is a renowned fashion designer who makes world-class creations. People appreciate his designs and outfits and he has become a brand. He is extremely successful in his career. But what about his personal life?

Rick does not reveal much about his personal and love life. He is of a reserved nature and is not comfortable discussing his private life in public. This has led people to start speculating and discussing it. And people also wonder whether Rick’s sexual orientation is not straight. They feel that the chances are high that Rick is gay or not heterosexual.

Rick stated that individuals have the right to violate society-laid rules and do what they like in terms of affection and relationships. He is of the opinion that it is up to an individual to like or not like a particular thing and society cannot enforce things on him or her. They can decide their sexuality and advance accordingly. He stated that his father thinks that he is a bad role model to follow:

“I think my father does. Talk to my father! (Laughs) Anyway, I think the idea of me telling anybody a message is ridiculous, but if anyone is paying attention, I’m letting people know that the possibilities are endless. You can open your heart to love anybody. You can be available to more people than you think. There are no rules. You don’t have to be just gay. You don’t have to be just straight. Open your mind! You might not be able to be gay with most people, but maybe there’s one person where it would work. So, it’s not a big wide sweeping general rule… It’s not just about sex. It’s all of that whole combination of things that make it work.”

Is Rick married?

Rick is a married man. His wife is the famous French fashion and culture personality, Michele Lamy. The two exchanged wedding vows in 2006. Rick called Michele his muse and included her name in the pamphlet that he had created during the launch of his Birkenstock brand in the year 2018.

Michele is a favorite of many other celebrities. American rapper A$AP Rocky calls her his fairy godmother and a creative mentor. Michele has been featured in music videos of FKA Twigs. She also collaborated with Loree Rodkin to create some jewelry designs.

Is Rick bisexual?

Rick is attracted to both men and women. When he was dating Michele, he also worked with the famous S&M photographer Rick Castro. The latter was a close friend of his wife, Michele. The bond between Rick Castro and Rick Owens strengthened and moved him again towards bisexuality.

Hence, Rick is bisexual. He had dated men before his marriage. Once, in an interview, Rick had revealed:

“I don’t know… I’ve always been really open about this because it’s very easy for someone to say, “I used to see him in sex clubs in the ’80s and now he pretends he’s straight?” So the idea of pretending I’m straight is ridiculous. I need to get that out of the way. The other thing is that I love the idea that there are bad role models and good role models. Presumably, I would be a bad role model but I think for someone…”
