Rick Owens

Tecuatl SS 2020 womenswear brings Owens’s Mexican maternal heritage and border politics into the mainline with unusual clarity. Robes, metallic headgear, platform boots and ceremonial column shapes appear within a presentation that uses perimeter bubble release around the pool as part of its public image. The references move through Mexican maternal ancestry, open borders, Fantasia and Metropolis without becoming costume. Tecuatl matters because autobiography, ancestry and political pressure are translated into silhouette, procession and atmosphere rather than presented as decorative heritage.
