Rick Owens Horrifies With His 2016 Fall/Winter Collection
Inspired by the French-Italian ’60s horror film, “Eyes Without a Face.”
This collection is unequivocally Rick Owens – set in the concrete basement of the Palais de Tokyo, dark, neo-gothic aesthetics crafted in elephantine silhouettes created this Owens’ experience. Taking inspiration from the horror film, Eyes Without a Face, models parade down the runway in ghoulish Kabuki makeup and wide-leg trousers of voluptuous proportions. To complement these bottoms, some streaked in white paint, flowing mohair sweaters and billowing knee-length sleeveless tops were featured. Deviations from this theme were noted — among them, streamlined trenchcoats and shrunken double-breasted jackets. Sticking to his infamous monochromatic-palette, alongside traces of burnt orange and mahogany, the collection was a return to brand Owens.
