Avant-Garde fashion designer Rick Owens introduces his PERFORMA runway show capturing the looks from his Fall/Winter 2020 collection during Paris Fashion Show Men's. The show featured a cloudy aesthetic as the theatrical hall was filled with dry ice with models walking through.
The name of the collection also serves as the inspiration, referencing the performance art biennial by Roselee Goldberg back in 2004. Owens states that he "had always regarded personal behavior, social and moral, as something to quietly but diligently work on improving. But at 58, I find myself, for better or worse, performing." The new collection is presented in a dramatic manner as well, showcased through designs that correlate towards the same theme.
