Rick Owens makes clothes for purely the concept, he could care less if it actually gets sold.
Such was the mood of Rick Owens's latest show, using the eccentric and daring theme of "Monastic Culture. in many of his clothes. The collection was dominated by outerwear, mainly coats of long length with incredible movement and force, possibly resembling that characteristic personality of a nun, forceful and rigid. Joan of arc's figure could be seen in some of the white lapel-less coats, who Owens was fascinated by during the creation of his collection. "There's something poignant about devoting oneself to a cause."
The things I loved most about this collection was the more architectural pieces, namely the black wristbands and the cotton sporty sleeveless shirts near the end. I also adored the architectural collars of some pieces, and especially loved the tailored waist of some of the clothes. The loose footwear that he created seemed to me sort of revolting in that it reminded me of a sort of sloppiness associated with mud or pond scum, especially with that swamp green color. I was also not a fan of the platform-flats that he dawned for men, it seemed as though he took them from his last fall-winter Women's collection.
My favorites from the collection-
