Rick Owens

Citroen is an early womenswear pivot where Owens proves that colour and body-conscious clarity can belong inside his leather-and-drape grammar. Stretch gauze, washed leather, shorter skirts, wrapped tops and asymmetrical trails shift the work away from pure darkness without turning it decorative. The collection keeps the body tense and elongated, but lets graphic polish and a lighter palette expose construction that a blacked-out look might have hidden. It opens the early Paris language without abandoning its friction.
