Rick Owens Fall/Winter 2026
by Anna Barr
Rick Owens is a confident designer who makes pieces for confident people. When I say confident, I mean that it is often rare to find designers who insist that fashion can still function as protest, prayer and protection all at once. For his Fall/Winter 2026 collection Tower as in “TEMPLE OF LOVE, TOWER OF LIGHT”, unveiled at the Palais de Tokyo, Owens proposed not escapism but confrontation which some might seem as provocation from the towering boots, hand-tied macrame masks that required over 3000m of wax and over 30 hours to make in collaboration with Lucas Moretti, to the hair and make-up collaboration with Berlin based digital creator Figa Link read as a reactive protest rather than a styling exercise.
Stylist Tyrone Dylan opened the show for the deliberately vertical and imposing collection. Among the vertical silhouettes were stripped back epaulettes, wrapped coats and lab-like leather outerwear, Kevlar coats, heavy waxed cowhides, raw Himalayan wool felt and industrial Japanese denim gave the collection a sense of armor and insulation, while transformable jackets, removable layers and modular construction introduced adaptability and movement. The exaggerated boots and swollen proportions pushed the garments into a grotesque register, offset by moments of softness in alpaca sack coats, shearling netted flight jackets and hand-worked knits.
The show notes highlighted craft and process as central to the narrative. From Japanese mills and Italian wash houses to small ateliers in India and family-run manufacturers across Europe, the collection emphasized longevity, traceability and labor as forms of resistance.
