There was one fashion designer who made headlines for throwing down the gauntlet at his spring-summer 2014 runway show during Paris Fashion Week and the AnOther Magazine Rick Owens editorial immortalizes the moment. Putting on a beautiful performance starring women of all shapes, colors and sizes, he ditched the idea of the typical model in order to focus on what really matters.
Photographed by Matthew Stone and styled by Katie Shillingford, the AnOther Magazine Rick Owens editorial appears in the latest issue of the publication. It stars "street-cast models with the same diversity and fearless attitude that electrified the Rick Owens show," according to Refinery29. Stone observes, "I think that there is space for positive and empowering nude imagery of women."
