Excerpt: Rick Owens. Fall/Winter 2026 womens - Paris Fashion Week

  

"...moving to Paris in 2002 with his wife Michèle Lamy, a once L.A. darling and entrepreneur, now in her late 80s, with both of them sharing a fascinating 1970s counterculture history, particularly Lamy with her Studio 54 - esque late 70s resonation,  which offers an insight into longevity, particularly when the fashion industry can knock you out in less than 5 years.

Owens within his 20 year timeline, while setting the tone for the Rick Owens signature label, has covered every element of the bygone countercultures, all wrapped up in his unique doomsday, gothic, cult like persona, saying, "There’s been punk rock, there’s been glitter rock, there’s exaggeration, there are clothes that reject the status quo by creating something grotesque or mocking it..." further eluding for his Fall/Winter 2026/27 collection, that he had, "... missed that kind of energy."  To which, Owens latest array is a remodeling, as he has done numerous times, of his own backlog, be it his punk, glitter, and gothic exaggerations, within a backdrop of runway necromancers, seen as doomsday orcles, that not only warned us pre and post 2020, but may also offer all of us a solution, to offset these end-of -days.

Are we willing to listen?"
