Here’s How You Support Women, The Rick Owens Way

Rick Owens sure knows how to put up a show—even if that means strapping on women together.
 
Months after his “penis flash” show, the designer forwards yet another vision and statement in his spring/summer ’16 collection. Rick presents Cyclops, a range that consists of asymmetrically cut clothes, silk organza, and colorless separates. But perhaps its most freakish element is the fact that models were wearing models.
 
“[This will be about] women carrying women,” he once said before the show began. The stunt was an elaborate ode to “nourishment, sisterhood/motherhood, and regeneration, women raising women [and] women becoming women.” This translated to the models carrying their female partner models on their backs or in front.  
 
Apart from the clothes, Rick made sure to visualize this message with the help of gymnasts and dancers. The latter helped depict acts of supporting, cradling, and giving birth through dance. While in danger of simply depicting bondage, Rick shrugged this off by simply pressing his intent to “[admire] the mystery of what a woman is.”
 
It’s through people like him that we see what artists are made of: enigmatic commentary that fuels either passionate action or a wave of dislike.
