Rick Owens Fall/Winter 2025-2026: A Darkly Refined Recalibration

by - 07:30:00

Rick Owen's collection unveiled a shift in tempo at Paris Fashion Week—a recalibration of his signature dystopian grandeur into a more grounded, yet no less commanding, vision for Fall/Winter 2025-2026. Known for his architectural silhouettes and theatrical presentations, Owens stripped back excess this season, revealing a collection that was as pragmatic as it was poetic.

“This is me reminding people that I mean it,” the designer remarked, signaling a deliberate move towards a balance between provocation and wearability. The catalyst for this shift? A bronzed Rimowa suitcase—an object of function and luxury—that sparked an urge to craft pieces that exist beyond spectacle.

Bomber jackets were fully lined with leather instead of traditional fabric, while laser-cut leather fringe shorts, worn beneath chaps, created an effect reminiscent of medieval chainmail. In collaboration with Victor Clavelly, he refined stand-up collared coats, zip-front jackets with peplum hems, and sculptural belted outerwear in gray flannel—each piece imbued with his uncompromising commitment to craftsmanship.

Even within this more restrained framework, Owens’ signature irreverence surfaced. Hoodies, reimagined in delicate strips of natural rubber, moved like gills with each step, transforming the familiar into the avant-garde. His models—staring through eerie black contact lenses, which he dubbed his “equivalent of red lipstick”—maintained the designer’s darkly ethereal aura.

With an emphasis on real-world wearability fused with Owens’ singular artistry, this collection signaled an evolution rather than a departure. The black contacts may remain a niche indulgence, but the collection itself proved to be a study in refinement—one that speaks to both the devoted Owens disciple and a broader audience drawn to the allure of the beautifully subversive.
