Hey there, fashion lovers! If you thought Rick Owens couldn’t get any more daring, think again. The bisexual menswear designer, known for his jaw-dropping runway stunts, is now baring it all - well, at least his feet - on OnlyFans to raise funds for an incredible cause.
On July 15, Owens dropped the bombshell on Instagram, announcing that proceeds from his spicy feet videos will go directly to the Allanah Foundation. This organization, founded by trans pioneer Allanah Starr, runs La Maison D’Allanah, a shelter in Versailles, France, for at-risk transgender youth and refugees. Talk about strutting for a purpose!
This isn’t just a random whim - it’s a deeply personal project for Owens, tied to his latest 'Temple of Love' exhibition at the Palais Galliera. He’s blending art, activism, and a touch of allure in a way only he can.
So, where did this foot-fetish philanthropy come from? Owens drew inspiration from Contessa di Castiglione, a 19th-century Italian aristocrat who, as her beauty waned, famously retreated from the public eye. She had mirrors removed from her Place Vendôme apartment, kept the curtains drawn, and focused solely on photographing her feet until her passing.
Owens reflected on this quirky historical tidbit, tying it to his own musings on vanity, aging, and self-expression. 'This is all about my own negotiations with self-display and growing older,' he shared on social media, giving us a glimpse into the deeper meaning behind his bold move.
'I’m thrilled to use my platform to spotlight the struggles of LGBTQ+ refugees and trans youth - every step counts,' Rick Owens said, emphasizing the personal passion driving this unique fundraiser.
The impact of Owens’ gesture hasn’t gone unnoticed. Allanah Starr, the namesake of the foundation and a celebrated actress, performer, and director, took to Instagram to express her gratitude. She praised Owens not just for the financial boost but for shining a light on the often-overlooked plight of LGBT refugees.
Starr highlighted the harsh realities faced by many asylum seekers in France, from homelessness to exploitation. 'Since opening the foundation, I’ve seen the unimaginable horrors these individuals endure, often forced to rely on dangerous measures just to survive,' she shared, urging everyone to do better for the most vulnerable in the community.
Her words are a powerful reminder of why initiatives like Owens’ matter - every contribution helps provide safety, scholarships, and mentorship to those in desperate need.
Let’s be real - Rick Owens has never been one to shy away from the spotlight. From staging menswear shows on high-rise scaffolding in Paris to sending models down the runway sans pants, he’s a master of shock and awe. This OnlyFans venture is just the latest in a long line of headline-grabbing moves.
Not into feet? No worries! If you’re still eager to support the cause, the Allanah Foundation accepts direct monetary donations through their website. Whether you’re subscribing to Owens’ content or donating the old-fashioned way, you’re helping make a difference.
