Rick Owens Fall 2019

Rick Owens Fall 2019 featured SFX Runway Makeup, beautiful silhouettes and lines accentuating the shoulders, and had a unique take on making use of different planes of the body in this Utilitarian craze we’re seeing this season.

Saint Laurent Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week  collection had this strange 80’s air about it, the cocktail dresses, the shoulders, the styling… it’s the third show in PFW to invoke the era.  We know Saint Laurent has embodied the 80’s and Punk recently, but this is less hard edged and more era gone by.  The…
