Rick Owens

Larry AW 2019 womenswear reconnects Owens’s world to Larry LeGaspi’s stage language rather than a vague idea of glamour. Sequins, glam materials and platform footwear support prosthetic-adjacent bodies and elongated columns, bringing queer glitter-era memory into the runway vocabulary. The collection matters because it names a lineage of transgressive performance dressing while keeping the silhouettes inside Owens’s own grammar of extension, surface and procession. Its force comes from cultural memory made wearable, not from simple retro revival or rock styling.
