As soon as the Rick Owens present rolls round, you realize you are about to see one thing in contrast to anything you noticed so far throughout the 4 style weeks. The designer’s Fall 2022 assortment, proven in Paris Thursday, was no exception — though there was one thing about it that felt of-the-moment (because of goth-leaning celebs like Julia Fox and Ye maybe?), whereas additionally utterly faraway from any particular time or house. Along with his retro-futurist sensibility, Owens has all the time had a knack for this.
The present had fashions strolling solemnly encircled in clouds of smoke, giving the entire thing a cinematic, otherworldly really feel — particularly as they got here out in a bunch for the finale like a military of well-dressed apocalypse survivors. Many had been swathed in protecting outerwear: lengthy wool coats topped with cozy stoles; armor-like vests and jackets with soccer player-esque shoulder pads or life jacket-esque inflation; elegant capes with a “Lord of the Rings” vibe; puffer-coat capes with exaggerated sleeves trailing on the ground; futuristic coats adorned with tufts of fur. Platform boots, hitting above the knee if not greater, even have a shield-like really feel.
Owens’ beloved camel-alien shoulders function prominently within the assortment, in addition to his signature extra-long, curve-hugging skirts.

Here is hoping somebody’s courageous sufficient to put on one on the pink carpet this awards season, although they might additionally work as wardrobe for some post-apocalyptic queen in a film. (Zendaya in “Dune 2,” maybe?)
