# Macho Monochromatic Looks The Rick Owens Fall/Winter 2012 Range is a Vision of the Future By John Ibbitson | Published 2012-01-24 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rick-owens-fall-winter-2012 References: [fuckingyoung.es](http://fuckingyoung.es/rick-owens-fallwinter-2012/) & [rickowens.eu](http://rickowens.eu/) In the new Rick Owens Fall/Winter 2012 collection, the designer takes a postmodern, minimalist approach to his new diverse range of [monochromatics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25). Slender silhouettes of leather, fur, velvet and cotton materials make up a striking collection of [futuristic black and gray garments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set). 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Ultra Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/ultraluxury) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Postmodern Minimalism:** There is an opportunity for designers to create minimalist collections with a postmodern twist. - **Monochromatic Futurism:** The use of monochromatic colors in futuristic fashion can be explored further, creating a bold and innovative aesthetic. - **Exaggerated Proportions:** Designers can experiment with exaggerated proportions to create unique and elongated looks in their collections. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers can incorporate postmodern minimalism and monochromatic futurism into their designs. - **Retail:** Retailers can capitalize on the demand for postmodern minimalism and monochromatic futurism by stocking these types of garments. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Textile manufacturers can develop innovative fabrics and materials that cater to the exaggerated proportions trend. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Avant Garde Seasonal Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brucolic.md) - [Redefined Fall Everyday Uniforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/observe.md) - [Minimally Elegant Fall-Ready Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-1.md) - [Seasonal Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/siegelman-stable-1.md) - [Minimal Tailored Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galilee-by-sea.md) - [Measured Winter Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vowels-fw26.md) - [Oversized Winter Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/american-symphony.md) - [Fall Technical Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atom-collection.md)
