Rick Owens

Vicious SS 2014 menswear makes live sound and physical risk part of the runway encounter. Leather, mesh, cut-outs and performance surfaces frame baggy shorts, exposed torsos and an aggressive street-facing attitude, while the Winny Puhh performance turns the show into something closer to a live event than a conventional runway. It is one of the clearest menswear examples of Owens using staging as a structural element, not just atmosphere. The result is a show where sound, body and clothing are deliberately interdependent.
