Rick Owens Unveils Spring/Summer 2024 Collection at Paris Fashion Week

Rick Owens once again captivated the Paris fashion scene with his signature dark aesthetic, this time presenting his Spring/Summer 2024 collection in the outer gardens of the Palais de Tokyo. Despite the gloomy backdrop, Owens aimed to explore themes of happiness and joy in the face of adversity, highlighting the importance of one's character in challenging times. The show was a visual spectacle, with designer smoke filling the air and neon-colored fireworks illuminating the courtyard sculptures.

The collection itself showcased Owens' impeccable craftsmanship and clean design sensibility. The runway opened with a striking ensemble featuring a ripped body, a barely-there wrap top, high-waisted pants, and a close corseted waistline, worn by Tyrone Dylan. Asymmetrical tops adorned with sheer netting accentuated the body's contours, while leather sleeves hung loosely on models' backs. Owens' trademark tailored jackets made an appearance, featuring flared shoulder pads and cutouts. Unique details included oversized umbrellas with lapels doubling as hats, and frilled blouses secured by utility belts adorned with swinging chains.

Notably, this season Owens introduced a fresh twist to his iconic sneakers, incorporating a protective ankle strap. Some shoe designs even evoked the imagery of a broken leg, cleverly showcasing selective skin breakouts.
