RICK OWENS SS16 CYCLOPS WOMENS BACKSTAGE

This women’s spring collection is entitled CYCLOPS– a mythological creature, formidable, with focused vision. Who among us wouldn’t appreciate that kind of description? in the spring men’s collection, which shares the same name, that focused vision was propulsive and aggressive. When applied to women, I see that focused vision being more about nourishment, sisterhood/motherhood and regeneration; women raising women, women becoming women, and women supporting women– a world of women I know little about and can only attempt to amuse in my own small way.
