RICK OWENS LIDO SS24 RECREATION
Designer Insight:
Rick Owens has long been an emblem of fearless innovation and poetic deconstruction in fashion—a designer whose work challenges the boundaries of conventional aesthetics. His runway presentations are not mere displays of clothing, but immersive narratives that blend brutalist forms with ethereal, almost dystopian beauty. What resonates with me most is Owens’s uncanny ability to transform raw materials and unconventional silhouettes into a profound visual language that speaks of both vulnerability and power.
In re-creating one of his iconic runway looks for my project, I sought to capture that essence—the interplay of stark, architectural lines with the fluidity of draped fabric, the tension between shadow and light, and the raw emotion conveyed through every cut and stitch. Owens’s use of dark, monochromatic palettes and sculptural forms inspires me to push beyond traditional boundaries and embrace a more experimental, deconstructed approach to design. His work invites us to see beauty in imperfection, to celebrate the rugged and the refined simultaneously.
This project was not just an exercise in replication, but a personal dialogue with Owens’s visionary ethos. By re-interpreting his look, I aimed to honor his legacy of merging the avant-garde with a sense of timeless, almost primal elegance—a reminder that fashion, at its core, is a powerful medium for storytelling and transformation.
