Whenever a Rick Owens show takes place in Paris, another runway unfolds outside the venue. The protagonists are those dressed in head-to-toe black, exaggerated platform boots, floor-sweeping silhouettes, and leather layering that fills the streets. Instantly recognizable without instruction, they are Rick Owens' tribe. Their only common thread is a fervent devotion to Rick Owens. This scene, repeated every season, has become an event as anticipated as the runway itself.
Black is the foundation, leather and deconstructive layering are essential. The higher the platform boots, the better. Floor-length silhouettes are non-negotiable. Rick Owens' style always pushes toward extremes. The street displays a unified sensibility, as if everyone wears the same uniform, yet individuality thrives in how each person interprets Rick Owens.
Street style outside the show is documented every season. During fashion week, the area in front of Rick Owens' venue becomes one of the most intense street-snap locations. It's a rare case where inside and outside the runway connect into a single universe. This unique landscape created by brand and fandom belongs to Rick Owens alone.
PAP has captured this scene on video, a spectacle we look forward to every season just as much as the runway. Do you want to join Rick Owens' tribe?
