One of fashion’s great brutalist designers, Paris-based American designer Rick Owens has gathered an extraordinary cult following with his directional gothic aesthetic, pushing the boundaries of traditional fashion with his avant-garde creations centred on draping, texture and silhouette. His glamourous grunge collections are evolved on luxury leather pieces, dropped crotch pants, sweaters and shoes featuring interesting tailoring, severe shapes and a moody monochrome palette. This season shows his ability to marry a gothic, distressed sensibility with couture-like sophistication featuring oversized silhouettes, contemporary tailoring, trained draping, luxe fabrications and subtle pops of colour.
