Source:On the evening of October 2, the fourth day of Paris Fashion Week, Rick Owens unveiled his latest women’s collection titled “TEMPLE” at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris’s 16th arrondissement. Across the street, the Palais Galliera was simultaneously hosting his retrospective exhibition, Temple of Love, making it a truly symbolic night for the designer.
Like his menswear collection shown in June, this season’s presentation also carried the title “TEMPLE.” In the official show notes, Owens stated:
“This exhibition tracks the pursuit of glamour and sleaze that I was looking for on Hollywood Boulevard, and eventually, improbably, ended up displaying in a Paris museum. I have always thought of what I do as a fascination with the denseness of European aesthetic sophistication seen through a filter of American bluntness.”
True to his words, the show embodied a world where refinement and rawness coexist in paradoxical harmony. A banner reading “Tough clothes for tough times” set the tone, as models waded through fountains like warriors navigating a fractured world.
The collection was defined by its industrial materials—GRS-certified nylon, recycled nylon tulle, and heavy leather. Among the highlights was a collaboration with Paris-based rubber fetish artist Matisse Di Maggio, who developed a unique technique: sequins hand-placed on latex panels, repeatedly polished after drying to create a crusted, timeworn texture.
Another notable collaboration came from London designer Straytukay, whose leathers were vegetable-tanned in Santa Croce sull’Arno, Tuscany, then slashed, fringed, and reconstructed with studs—manifesting Owens’s recurring paradox of “hard materials that breathe.”
Owens’s enduring exploration of the architecture of the body remained central this season. Architectural dresses composed of nearly transparent layers evoked nudity while suppressing it completely.
Geometric lines traced the form of the body like veins under strict control.
The exaggerated shoulders of last season evolved into metallic sculptural forms, juxtaposed with soft cascades of GOTS-certified silk chiffon. Meanwhile, a collaboration with Parisian lingerie label Livy introduced visible bra tops beneath open tank dresses—an exquisite collision of hardness and sensuality.
As the show drew to a close, a collaboration with Suicide, the 1970s pioneers of minimalist electronic sound, filled the venue.
The final lines of the show notes quoted Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane:
“When the truth is found to be lies,
and all the joy within you dies—
Don’t you want somebody to love?
Don’t you need somebody to love?
Don’t you want somebody to love?
You’d better find somebody to love.”
The show concluded with two striking looks printed with Owens’s own hand-drawn birth chart—one in black, one in white. These final pieces symbolized his life and philosophy itself: a quiet prayer to the self, radiating a metaphysical beauty that transcended fashion.
