At the Palais de Tokyo, Rick Owens brought a piece of Hollywood to Paris for his Spring/Summer 2025 show, showcasing a collection inspired by his early days in Los Angeles. Models, including fashion school students and Owenscorp employees, marched down the grand staircase wearing Owens’ signature styles—futuristic leathers, latex, and ethereal chiffons, all exuding an otherworldly presence. The collection, named after the “Boulevard of Vice,” paid homage to the flamboyant characters of pre-code Hollywood, mixing art deco with themes of sin and mortality.

Among the highlights were tailored silk capes, trashed denim cut-offs, and Owens’ iconic Kiss Boots, now equipped with shin cargopacks. The show also featured black charmeuse robes designed by longtime collaborator Dafne Balatsos, evoking the brand’s early days in Hollywood.

Owens closed with a powerful message: individuality is essential, but embracing commonalities is just as important in today’s world. His show brought this vision to life, uniting the audience with a supernatural yet relatable collection that left a lasting impression.
