Olivier Rizzo: A Tribute to His Obsessions

November 23, 2015 12:56 pm Published by Leave your thoughts

To reduce Olivier Rizzo down to the title of “stylist” is an underestimation; he is more like the member of a quasi-religious cult, the keeper of a pop culture flame, determined to propagate heartfelt emotion through the visual culture of fashion.
