Rick Owens A Visionary in Fashion

It’s a good day when Rick Owens decides to put on a show. Rick is one of those designers that just created a lane for himself. Just so recognizable that you cannot even think about anybody else creating these look.

 Rick Owens is just getting better by each season. Just look at the concept of his latest menswear show called Hollywood. When you have 200 models divided in several groups that are dressed the same, it sends a strong message. Many of the models were students from fashion schools in Paris, while some of the models were friends of the house.

But why were they all dressed the same? Well, Rick wanted to focus more on what people have in common than expressing their differences. The key word of the show is unity, making sure that people realize that they have more things in common than they think.Self-expression and differences are something the fashion  industry glorifies, but unity is what we all strive for. At least that is the philosophy in the world of Rick Owens.

As the season progresses, many are talking about the need for unity or freedom, so this is a timely depiction of both. Rick Owens has brought together a group of creatives who, united as one, chose to use a “colorless” white hue throughout the collection, which could symbolize rebirth, new beginnings, and reflect the fact that reality will never be perfect by embracing imperfect tones, but imperfection can still be used to convey a powerful message of hope.
