RUNWAY: Rick Owens SS18

A new ice age is upon us, according to Rick Owens. His dystopic Spring/Summer 2018 collection had all his hallmarks with strong references to hunters and gathers of a millenia-past. Voluminous bags attached to the hip are requisite while in search of food and/or prey while bare chests revealed the tiny frames of the models. Meanwhile, his tailored offerings were shrunken on top and voluminous on the bottom, some so lightweight, they were see through. Is global warming real? Has humanity created a situation where cataclysmic weather will usher in a new ice age? Yes and Rick Owens has a collection to offer for when the day comes when we can't try to stop or, at least, slow it down.
