With a backdrop of a blaze of fire, the models stalked down the catwalk masked by slashed balaclavas, partially obscuring their faces and seemingly looking like they were going to cut some bitches up!
Rick Owens spoke of brutalism and savage impulse when asked what the starting point to the collection was. In true Owens' style we saw beautifully bias-cut skirts and dresses that fell to the floor, gently draped front coats all in shades of grey but unexpectedly soft shades of apricot appeared. Not everything was leather and shearling, we were given sumptuous mink and blanket wool.
I have to say I love the masks and even more so, Rick Owens' explanation of how they came to be..
"The funny thing was that the hat were supposed to be more of a veil. It wasn't supposed to be this Hannibal Lecter thing that some people might see. There's something about marking a woman's face that can be very violent that I don't approve of. I don't like the idea of putting woman in uncomfortable situations. They were meant to be coquettish in a very contemporary way."
I love Rick Owens!
