The tepid applause says it all....what happened? This is one of the most uninspired I've seen from him. Sad.

This is just so beautiful, I love everything about this collection Every three or four seasons Rick Owens just completely nails it for me in terms of presentation, theme and design. I could have done without the few looks with the multiple-sleeve collars, but the rest is fabulous.

I'm usually a big fan of Rick and his collections. But this time around I'm not entirely sure about this collection, I like how wearable it is and the shoes are insane! Zoom in on the shoes cause they're a real killer. The tulle is worked in a interesting way, as he himself said; making the tulle look 'brutalist and raw', which he definitely succeeded in this collection.

Personally I don't relate to the color scheme, I miss Rick's black clothes, here we get a 'late-fall garden after a rain' mixed with zombie/death kind of colors. I mean? Who doesn't wear all black all year long?

Also, taking the men's zombie body-make up is slightly redundant.

some days ago when he had a verbal diarrhea at howtospendit that went a little like this...

The spring collection is named Faun (men’s and women’s collections have the same title) and references Claude Debussy’s L’après midi d’un faune – music I grew up listening to from a cultural period that became an aesthetic touchstone for me, encompassing cubism, Stéphane Mallarmé, Léon Bakst, the Ballets Russes and early-20th-century modernism. The legendary premiere of the ballet choreographed by and starring Vaslav Nijinsky was set to this music, and I was thinking of the storyline of the faun chasing the nymphs, climaxing with the faun masturbating over the scarf left behind by one of them. A primal moment captured in a stylised formal setting.

It was an historical moment of the new guard attacking the establishment – a dramatic display of something crude and barbaric that made what came before it seem dated and fussy.

Artifice and the id are a combo that informs almost everything I do, and I always think of the sculptor Constantin Brâncuși and performance artist Joseph Beuys to get there.

... I figured I should actively avoid looking at pictures of his show. But I didn't lol. And it's actually not so bad. Maybe he realized it was becoming the saddest circus, or maybe his attention's now 100% on his naked torso, either way, this is a bit reminiscent of his pre 2007 stuff... the transparencies are beautiful and whatever is happening in this jacket is amazing.

am i the only one who feels this is a bit bruno pieters-esque? reminds me of his first few p-a-p collections. i don't hate it...it looks well made and beautifully done but it's a bit too regurgitated. i guess after so much energy putting into his much-buzzed productions maybe he felt a bit lacking in the inspiration department?

likeable and wearable but not his most ground-breaking work. still better than many, though, to me.

Yeah I agreed it's not his ground breaking but it's beautiful and wearable. To me it wasn't bad at all I quite like it actually.

Decent collection but not the best

To me this collection is stronger than his latest menswear collection. Although the title of this is the same with menswear-"Faun", but i get the strong vibe of Japanese culture. I really like the white ladies, they look like a type of Japanese ghost, "Yurei" ( i know there is another type that look alike the ladies in the collection but i dont know the exact name.)

I just wish he was held the show at the old runway, with some intersting trick for the stage. That would be a great impact to the collection.
