In an abandoned city, there's a hotel. In that dusty, disheveled place, an anthropomorphic creature promises, as the sun sets, that every day it will become a new skin. A power of reinvention under the name Rick Owens was born under the sky of Paris, a continuation of his story. Welcome to the third day of Paris Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2025-26.

Rick Owens' identity is daring and tries to break away from trends, adhering to them loosely. A thought (which should be adopted by many brands) in his collection today was: "I'm in ready-to-wear, shouldn't I make the garments ready to wear?" Under this notion and, with the background of the selection of models in his Couture presentation, he called on fashion students from Paris to walk his runway and ensure that his garments are of all sizes.

Adopting the free and transgressive spirit of the rejected (weirdos, freaks), the philosophy of the firm is clear, they must be dressed to highlight that nature. In this Paris Fashion Week, he shows us the power of simplicity, all in black, green, and grayish tones. Altered denim garments, utility jackets, and large dresses with typhoon currents dance in harmony with his characteristic shoulder pads and the inflatable boots, never dispensable by Straytukay.

Rick Owens' aesthetic is undeniable, and his coherence takes us straight to Downtown LA at 12 at night. It may not be his riskiest bet (considering the height of expectations), but, without a doubt, he gave us a show worthy of admiration and, most importantly, logical and possible to wear.
