Rick Owens, celebrated for his moody, avant-garde aesthetic, captivated the fashion scene once more with his latest grunge-inspired collection. Held at the Palais de Tokyo, the show unfolded amid swirling neon pink and yellow fog, as models emerged in haunting, sculptural silhouettes through a garden runway.
Drawing inspiration from Icelandic icon Björk—whose September concert left a deep impression—Owens infused the collection with a sense of hope and vitality. He sought to channel her profound, life-affirming energy into each design.
The presentation moved from shadowy tones to luminous hues, with delicate flower petals cascading from above. The lineup ranged from all-black ensembles featuring sheer face coverings and oversized motorcycle jackets, to blush-toned asymmetrical dresses accented with vivid mustard gloves. Architectural tailoring and a fusion of materials like chiffon, sheer fabrics, and leather defined the LIDO collection’s bold identity.
Accessories made a powerful statement, with towering platform heels secured by thick straps and Owens’ signature square toes. The models’ blacked-out eyes intensified the show’s eerie, theatrical mood.
Pushing creative boundaries, Owens introduced dramatic new silhouettes, including flowing silk parachute trains. The collection marked a striking evolution of his darkly poetic universe, reaffirming his place as a fearless innovator in the world of high fashion.
