Rick Owens’ Fall/Winter 2025 collection, titled “CONCORDIANS,” was unveiled at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. The show commenced with David Bowie’s iconic song “Heroes,” setting a powerful and emotional tone.
The collection drew inspiration from Owens’ personal experiences of isolation and introspection, particularly reflecting his time in the industrial town of Concordia, Italy. This theme was evident in the use of materials such as eco-certified wool and water-saving denim, emphasizing sustainability.
The designs featured bold silhouettes, including jackets with oversized, upturned collars and towering boots, conveying a sense of empowerment and resilience. The repetition of “We can be heroes” in the show’s soundtrack reinforced the message of embracing one’s heroic potential.
Overall, the “CONCORDIANS” collection showcased Owens’ signature avant-garde aesthetic while inviting viewers to find strength and heroism within themselves.
