Having debuted his Spring/Summer 2019 collection in a smoke-filled courtyard at the Palais de Tokyo earlier today, here’s an exclusive look backstage at Rick Owens‘s show.

The range features the designer’s trademark asymmetrical cuts and stark color palette, with a few denim pieces thrown in for good measure. Models donning tasseled face masks, satin tearaway pants and hollow Rubik’s cube-inspired jewelry sported tent-like structures over their torsos. On the footwear front, Rick’s ongoing partnership with Birkenstock made a prominent cameo, this time offered in both open-toe slides and high-top sneaker iterations.

Scroll through the gallery above for a closer look and be sure to follow Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2019 for all of our latest coverage.
