Rick Owens’ shows are always larger than life, but this season there was a political twist.
Rick Owens’ shows are always larger than life with those giant platform boots and exaggerated proportions striding down a runway, with the imposing Art Deco Palais de Tokyo as the backdrop.
For spring, Owens was thinking about his Mexican mother and grandmother, and about President Donald Trump’s fixation with building a wall south of the U.S. border. He even planted the Aztec eagle from the United Farm Workers Association flag on T-shirts and other garments, and plans to use the proceeds to benefit their cause.
There was so much more to the collection than Mexico, including long coats with pointy shoulders, iridescent pink wide-leg trousers and jackets with a Glam Rock feel, and a pair of rough-edged black and blue jeans with bleached-out patches looking as if they’d been stitched together by Dr. Frankenstein.
