The American designer Rick Owens transformed his stage at the Paris fashion an industrialized, dystopian future vision, while models in plateauboots, wide -collar jackets and visor -like sunglasses stepped over the catwalk.

The most striking look in the first row

But the most striking and avant -garde outfit of the afternoon was not on the catwalk, but in the first row lined with stars. Singer FKA Twigs appeared with a partly shaved bouffant hairstyle, her characteristic bleached eyebrows and a variety of-presumably temporary-facial tattoos.

a neogotic fashion statement

The dared neo-Gothic outfit of the British pop singer comprised parts from earlier collections from Owens, including tinted glasses, a rust-colored mini dress and a sheep fur jacket. The over 6,000 dollar boots, the rhino cargofflare Owens ’autumn winter 2024 collection, which moved as the bellows of a accordion when the stairs rise in the historic Palais de Tokyo.

an appearance à la sci-fi

commentators noted on the Internet that the musician's look in films such as "The Fifth Element" or "Mad Max" would not be out of place. A user on X wrote: "FKA Twigs exceeds every time she appears at a Rick Owens event." With her Grungy aesthetics, Owens ’the label of the same name fits perfectly with FKA Twigs, which is known for her angular, goth-inspired style.

a strategic appearance

fka twigs has used great fashion events in the past to promote their music, such as when performing at Paris Fashion Week 2023 for the Italian label Valentino to present their new song "Unearth Me".

owens' new collection

Although the star appearance of FKA Twigs attracted a lot of attention, Owens did not go unnoticed. He also received a lot of attention for his new designs - especially for a few Knihohe Boots that were equipped with a wealth of feathered leather strips. Owens said that his autumn winter 2025 collection, which is called "Concordians", was inspired by the industrial Italian city of Concordia Sulla Secchia, where the label produces its goods. In his notes for the show in Paris, Owens remembered that he had slept on a sofa in the factory office for five years to internalize "the rhythm of an industrial production plan".
