The Porterville Shroud Turtleneck is an exercise in distortion and concealment. Fabric engulfs the body, not merely to clothe, but to obscure, to redefine the silhouette into something otherworldly. It is both cocoon and armor—an exploration of anonymity and self-imposed exile. This piece rejects convention, challenging the wearer to move through space with presence, yet veiled in an ethereal stillness.

To reconstruct this piece in 3D was to dissect its philosophy. Deconstructing its drapery, studying its weightless tension, and replicating its organic distortion in a digital void pushed my understanding of form. Owens’ vision transcends mere tailoring—it is architecture in motion, a meditation on how fabric and space interact. This project was not just a recreation but an immersion into his world—a testament to the power of distortion, abstraction, and the beauty of imperfection.

Porterville is more than a place—it is a symbol of raw beginnings, an echo of desolation and rebellion that pulses through Rick Owens’ work. Raised in the stark, unembellished landscape of Porterville, California, Owens channels its isolation into his designs, crafting garments that embody both brutalism and grace. His collections are a study in contradiction—monastic yet imposing, restrained yet chaotic. Porterville is not just a name; it is a foundation, a ghost of origin that lingers in every draped fold and jagged seam.
