Rick Owens WOMENS SS25

Once the rainy Parisian sky cleared, Rick Owens models hit the smokey floor of the Palais de Tokyo, presenting the SS25 collection. Contrary to the all-white July show, this collection brings back some earthy and grey tones and the classic dark elements typically expected from Rick's collections.

In line with the Paris weather, the show begins dark and cold, like a gothic funeral, with models dresses in all black hooded gowns. But as the sun begins to shine, the collection starts bit by bit revealing color. Overall exiting, clean yand calm, like the arrival of spring. Perhaps not as crazy or radical as some of Rick's previous shows, but nonetheless ticking off every box of his fan's needs, giving the people what they want.

An interesting highlight of the show was the choice of models, as Rick often selects models whose beauty deviates from the regular standards.

The show finished off with models throwing what seems rose petals from the roof of the Palais Royale. The petals, gently floating down like confetti, added a touch of romanticism to the otherwise industrial and dystopian vibe of the collection. It felt like a final note of hopefulness, closing out the show on a surprisingly tender and poetic note, a contrast to the boldness that preceded it.

Some intriguing items presented were a pair of large leather gloves, tops, classic Rick leather but most importantly the boots and heels.
