Rick Owens FW23
Known for their darker color palette, this time around the brand is embracing bold, vibrant hues like pink, silver, and green. The collection features voluminous silhouettes and exaggerated shoulders, but now with a playful twist. The designs are textured, with orb-like structures and plush jackets adding dimension to the pieces. It seems like the brand is evolving, pushing the boundaries of their signature style.
Rick Owens has always been tired of fashion that projected indifference or aloofness, and wanted something more earnest. To achieve this, he focused on polished hair and makeup, including sculptural ponytails and bold makeup choices. The clothes themselves were simple yet inventive, merging unexpected combinations like a puffer jacket and babydoll dress or shredded denim that resembled feathers. He also experimented with exaggerated proportions, growing spiky shoulders that rose beyond the top of the head and hugged the face. The result was an austere but arresting collection.
