Rick Owens jarred the weary fashion crowd awake by blasting a techno soundtrack at the start of his show. The thumping beat was a high contrast to the "monastic" theme of his recent menswear show. The runway was a bleak grey while smoke swirled around the models heads. The clothing did have a long and monastic silhouette for the most part. Edgy details like asymmetrical straps and zippers were seen a few times. Patent leather boots gave a fetish-like edge to the presentation.
