PFW: Rick Owens s/s 2017 Review
 
Rick Owen wowed people this year with wrapped 3D fabrics, textures and faux fur detail. He used layers upon layers of chiffon fabrics bulking and shaping it into dresses and skirts. He didn't use a variety of colours but the plain and basic colours he did use complemented each other well making the pieces come more to life. The only bright colour he did use was yellow and that stood out on the runway the most, with long maxi dresses in full colour people were fascinated by them.
This year he took a risk and it payed off, he chose to think outside the box and be unique which worked in his favour. All of his pieces were very similar in the sense the he used a lot of fabric in the collection and all the pieces of clothing were big. Everything was oversized and loose fitted apart from the skirts but even then chiffon draped off of them.

Jackets were an item of clothing that stood out in his range as they were oversized with large high necks and large sleeves. The jackets fitted well as a pieces with the long skirts that dragged along the floor. His collection was clearly not revealing as all of his pieces cover the models pretty well. Not a lot of skin was showing unless the models were wearing skirts or short dresses with short sleeves.

Detail on some of the pieces were so stunning and intricate with small embroidery and others had feather and fur which was beautiful and very different. His collection this year wasn't the same as others but everyone loved it.
