The fashion perspective of designer Rick Owens is at times controversial and frequently misunderstood but always provocative. Mr. Owens sense of challenging his audience to think about their wardrobe and one’s definitions of beauty inspired mr. letbetter’s project: Brown Paper Packages. Utilizing large rolls of brown wrapping paper, charles created and photographed original styles then carefully superimposed each image on itself. The result is a set of startling images that challenge not only our concepts of fashion but the very way in which we view fashion imagery.​
