The only thing I can find interesting here are the textures.

I’d never thought I’d say this about Rick Owens whose collections I’ve always loved, but this leaves me completely cold

 

[WAVES]

I like a lot of it.

 

[visvim2001]

not sure if Scream or Ku Klux Klan

I think I realized I dislike it so much because he's trying to build off what he thinks "now" is. And I sense he does know some parts of now, but he's picking the most uncool bits of it to celebrate ... ? Or maybe I'm just in a different camp 🤷‍♂️

Edit: I do like the collars lol

Lost in the fog since 2019...same repetition over and over and over. Was Silent Hill in the moodboard this time?

I hate Tyrone so much...! Rick Owens is just a distant memory because of him.

This is so stiff and messy.

There are a few cool plisse? pieces - not sure what to call them but the strips of fabric or pleats on the cropped tops.

Overall there’s an attention to detail that I used to expect from Rick that’s not present here. It looks like this was put together last minute. Perhaps this is what Rick has evolved into but I don’t really recognize him in this even if there are some ok pieces.

Are those warrior ghosts still lingering in the current atrocity or homeless people almost losing their sanity? Like those models, Rick has been lost in the mist for a few seasons.

 

[99 Percent Polyester]

90% of Rick I personally would not wear but from an artistic point of view I do admire and find cool even if it’s not for me.

With that being said, this show felt a little flat to me at first. Nothing really stood out other than the Dracula collars (which eventually became repetitive) and the big coconut tree looking boots.

But on second thought, maybe that’s okay??? Not every collection must reinvent the wheel. Rick enthusiasts typically buy a thing or two from new collections and incorporate into their existing Rick wardrobe.

There are some interesting textures but unfortunately they’re obscured by the fog so that doesn’t really help.

Funnily enough, before this some people complained his stuff was too crazy now and they missed earlier Rick that was more muted in color and was more about details and function. This isn’t exactly that but it probably is closer than it has been in last couple of collections.
