A rather revolutionary presentation of Rick Owens Spring/Summer 2014 collection. Not the usual runway show.
Forty dancers –with the attitude of a true warrior-, roaring and rushing down the runway in Owens signature wrapped tropes. A mash of black and nude. The garments were embracing their figures as they were properly adjusted to allow maximum movement. It was electric and different, a meeting point between elegance and roughness.
