Rick Owens always makes sure to fog up the Paris skyline, bringing his dark antics to the French capital once again. The Lord of Darkness graced his customary slot on the Paris Fashion Week schedule, taking Rick soldiers to Palais de Tokyo‘s outdoor gardens.
For Spring/Summer 2024, Rick Owens examined the current troubling world in his own uplifting way. “How one handles adversity is what defines one’s character,” the show notes read, hinting that happiness and joy are of utmost importance. The designer’s musty smoke casually filled the air around the museum’s backyard sculptures, shooting neon-tinted fireworks in celebration.
The collection showed Rick Owens at his best, delivering a refined collection that is undeniably him. The showcase began with Tyrone Dylan’s shredded physique, embraced by an almost non-existent wrapped top and ultra-high trousers with an intimate corseted waistline. Asymmetrical tops were clad in sheer mesh, hugging the body in all the right places. Leather sleeves dangled across bear backs open at the forearms, followed by the designer’s essential tailored vests with inflamed shoulder pads and cropped finishes. Oversized blazers grew lapels that turned into hoods, while slouchy shirt dresses were secured by utilitarian belts with pendulous chains that swung back and forth.
This season, Rick Owens delivered a fresh take on his colossal footwear silhouettes, previewing strapped sandals with exposed insteps secured to cushioned borders around the ankles. Others closely mimicked broken foot casts while revealing selective bursts of skin.
