RICK OWENS

Returning to the courtyard at Palais de Tokyo after a sojourn of showing at his home, Owens said ‘This time around I wanted to welcome everyone’, which meant casting fashion students and teachers to make up the 200-strong cast in his ‘white satin army of love’.The centrepiece was a ‘Gymnast bouquet’ – a structure featuring three gymnasts carried by nine others.The show played out as a procession with groups of 20 models wearing the same look, including hooded biker jackets, distressed gym shorts and chiffon capes, on a range of body types. The message, Owens said, was one of unity.
