RICK OWENS: Old Hollywood Glamour for Fall 2022 at the Paris Fashion Week Runway

Rick Owens delivered Old Hollywood glamour for Fall 2022 at the Paris Fashion Week runway and here are some highlights!

“During times of heartbreak, beauty can be one of the ways to maintain faith.” – Rick Owens

Cropped and shrunken jackets and lean and languid bias-cut skirts caught a bit of the Old Hollywood glamour also seen at Saint Laurent this week, but these weren’t in Cecil B. DeMille’s black-and-white. Owens combined peach and apricot, and a whole spectrum of oranges. The yellow and aqua blue pairings inevitably conjured visions of the Ukrainian flag.

In a season of strong outerwear, few pieces can rival Owens’s for audacity. There were puffer jackets whose sleeves extended to the ground, duvet jackets that curled around the torso like nautilus shells, and “Theda Bara” parkas with goat fur trim that look like commercial hits in the making. “I’ve been hearing people being apologetic for presenting fashion right now,” Owens said. “We’re an industry that has to support a lot of people, there’s no reason to make an excuse for that. We are people who express the best that aesthetics has to offer. And that’s of great social and cultural value.” He won’t get any arguments from this corner. – Vogue
