Matching sets are not only a marketing strategy to unite two products in one sale or a technique to simplify the production process. It is a latent trend not only in fast fashion but also in the luxury industry. Just ask Rick Owens, who has just launched his PARADOXE set, a true collector’s item.

Inspired by the underground trends of the 90s, with a focus on the rave and trance scenes, Owens‘ wild set has been created following a handcrafted pattern in which each strand is joined together at a time. The denim used has been dyed black before being frayed and reconstructed by hand by Paradoxe Paris. The result? A super worn and daring total look that is almost sold out. You can still find some sizes of the bottom on the brand’s website.
