Rick Owens opened the doors to his “Temple” for SS26. He took his Spring/Summer 2026 collection to the Palais de Tokyo during Paris Fashion Week, presenting it with a raw and striking staging. Models walked through fountains, soaked, in an atmosphere that combined military discipline with controlled theatricality.
The designer once again merged his menswear and womenswear lines under a single language. Exaggerated proportions, rigid materials and an aesthetic that blends aggression with precision defined the collection. “Tough clothes for tough times,” read the show notes.
Among the 45 looks, a fitted mesh top with leather trousers and the iconic Kiss heels stood out. There were also sheer dresses with frontal cuts, white tanks with a liquid-like drape, and distorted shoulders that have become his signature. Matisse di Maggio contributed a new texture with nylon tulle covered in almost imperceptible sequins. Shaggy layers and leather jackets balanced protection with exposure.
The finale was a piece printed with Owens’ own birth chart. It served as a personal signature and a symbolic conclusion to the show. Overall, the collection confirms that his aesthetic — dark, structured and direct — remains one of the most coherent in the current fashion landscape.
In his “Temple,” Rick Owens does not seek redemption or easy beauty. He simply offers his vision of the present.
