Rick Owens Turns Paris Fashion Week Pink
Presenting the SS24 collection at Palais de Tokyo.
Rick Owens returned to Paris Fashion Week in full force, once again taking over the iconic Palais de Tokyo for a platform-studded show that turned the Parisian skyline pink. Set against a backdrop of neon pink and yellow hues, the Spring/Summer 2024 showcase offered a look at Owens’ “LIDO” collection.
Drawing inspiration from Icelandic artist Björk, the collection took influence from “everyday joy” and offered a series of sculptural garments with extreme platform boots.
