RUNWAY: Rick Owens FW18

Bare bones design and bared bones were on display at Rick Owens' FW18 collection that offered plenty of concept: there were dystopic clothes that seemed like they were woven from different pieces, pants so high they nearly reached the chest and plenty of raw fabrics, creating a milieu around the wearer, like one might see on a cartoon after a dust-up. There were, of course, some great austerely tailored coats towards the end but the collection trended towards entropic designs, with purposeful haphazard designs, the equivalent of a fashion oxymoron.
