Fashion Week can be a tiring business for all involved, so we imagine it was something of a relief when the models who’d passed the casting for Rick Owens Paris show were told they’d be carried down the runway.
While the couture Cirque Du Soleil caught our eyes, Owens had a more artistic reason for the presentation: He felt inspired by the bonds between women.
Apparently the show’s theme was “women supporting women”, with each of the models presenting the brand’s latest looks with other models strapped onto them.
He said in a statement: “I see [my vision for the collection] being more about nourishment, sisterhood/motherhood”.
According to the backstage notes, Rick Owens declared his spring 2016 show a celebration of “love, humanity, sensibility, femininity, and womanhood”, leaving M.A.C Cosmetics’ makeup artist Sammy Mourabit with a challenge: how to create women that glowed without looking too precious or overdone.
