We could be heroes, just for one day…
As if they were avatars in an industrial city, Rick Owens' new collection, "Concordians," evokes feelings of nostalgia and risk. It feels like a nighttime stroll through an abandoned building complex, where we encounter otherworldly characters thanks to the creative direction with prosthetics and dark sclera.
With this presentation at Paris Fashion Week, Rick Owens gives us hope, reminding us that sometimes, to achieve success, we have to spend the night in unexpected places. The technique created with white rubber strips simulates tears in the garments, and the boots, designed in collaboration with Victor Clavelly, are the finishing touch that adds that dangerous vibe, like that of a porcupine.
The way the textures of the boots and accessories, combined with the exaggerated size of the shoulder pads on the tops and the looseness of the hoodies, frame the body in a strangely beautiful androgynous way, resulting in a universe that is one hundred percent Rick Owens.
This collection continues the success and charm garnered in recent years, presenting us with completely wearable options that don't lose their edgy touch. Welcome to Concordia.
