Paris Fashion Week Day 3

There is always a sense of rawness in a Rick Owens collection, probing a balance between severity and beauty. For SS15 Owens, best known for his jerseys, silks and fine leather, used tulle, a traditional couture fabric, but he used it in a more directional aesthetic. Raw-edged and layered on the hips, the tulle was architectural on traditional tunic silhouettes. Elsewhere it added texture and complexity to a rich palette of gold, khaki, pink and blue tones. Owens is not a label directly associated with frills, but his finale of parachute wrapped dresses were both novel and romantic.
