“This is my take on ostentation,” Rick Owens said in Paris.
As showtime approached in the courtyard of Palais de Tokyo, and a frenzied techno soundtrack by Lil Texas set in, four giant mechanical columns placed inside the monumental fountain started to elevate. They were fitted with rings that looked like the heads of machine guns. When the rings reached the top, they fired off smoke bombs in saturated colours, one by one – red, blue, yellow, green – until the whole courtyard was veiled in a thick, plush fog.
In the context of what he wrote, you couldn’t help but compare that era’s fusion of mourning and melancholy with its bigger-and-better compulsion for pomp and circumstance.Backstage, Owens elaborated: “I’m looking at all of these destination shows, thinking, what does that mean?” He was referring to spring’s increase of big-brand runway shows staged around the world. “Right after Covid, it seems kind of oblivious. But these big houses, they’re not dictating. They’re responding to consumers.
