In the new Rick Owens Fall/Winter 2012 collection, the designer takes a postmodern, minimalist approach to his new diverse range of monochromatics. Slender silhouettes of leather, fur, velvet and cotton materials make up a striking collection of futuristic black and gray garments.
Jumpsuits, long trench coats and high-waisted pants exaggerate the model's proportions, giving wearers an even more elongated look, while only a few looser-fitting pieces are present in the designer’s latest showing. Signature details Owens is known for, like shirts with draping elements and structural, box-like tailoring, are revisited but different enough from his previous offerings. Fans of the designer will certainly be impressed with the new Rick Owens Fall/Winter 2012 collection and will definitely be lining up in front of stores to get their first piece of it come next fall.
