It's hard to pull of black during the summer and spring time, especially if the garments are heavy and thick and leather. But Rick Owens doesn't seem to care about that. Well okay maybe not entirely.

The garments were lighter than his usual looks. Owens stuck to what he knew best; monochrome, uniformity, minimalism and asymmetry. A lot of leather was seen (as expected) in the collection. Other elements seen included what seemed to be like cashmere ( I could be wrong) jackets and something new as well. A lot of mesh vests with zippers running down the garment were seen. The mesh ha also been sewn into asymmetrical cuts on some garments. It was a typical Owens' collection.
However, with that being said, the show itself was such a huge disappointment. Yes, there are times when designers incorporate live music performances into their shows, but they do it in a way that attention isn't diverted away from the clothes. In fact the music is actually supposed to help boost the mood and help add effect to the theme of the show. But this years Rick Owens how did the exact opposite; there was a heavy metal band playing loud music. On top of that the drummers were on a spinning platform that would just not stop. All this along with the blaring lights just shifted the attention of the guests to the music rather than the clothes.
