Rick Owens Hairballed Paris Fashion Week
Rick Owens is well known for creating shocking moments at fashion week and his Spring 2016 collection is no exception. He often employs some accessory or styling along with his collections that grab the eye, creating a viral moment. This season, it was the hairball.
The collection, dubbed by Owens this season as Mastodon, is meant to give us an evolutionary warning. The looks, loose and baggy, saw hair draped into them, giving the presentation an overall vibe of, “What if Wilma Flintstone wore couture?”
The matted hair swimming around the heads of select models blocked our view of their faces, as well as their view of the audience; an apt commentary both on the current world political scene and climate-change deniers. It’s Idiocracy meets Caveman and Rick Owens is ready to dress us for this dire new future.
