How Rick Owens Conquered Fashion | A/W 25 Menswear Live Panel Discussion

Renowned for pioneering today's avant-goth aesthetic, Rick Owens is nothing short of a fashion anomaly. Cultivating a cult following with his bold silhouettes, subversive designs, and an unapologetically dark yet glamorous vision, Owens continues to redefine the boundaries of contemporary fashion. SHOWstudio's fashion features editor Joshua Graham is joined by stylist Yaz XL, performance artist Dahc Dermur VIII, and designers Oluwafeyitimi Majekodunmi and Harri to discuss the artistry, symbolism and cultural impact of Rick Owens' A/W 25 menswear show. Established in November 2000, SHOWstudio is an award-winning fashion website, founded and directed by Nick Knight, that has defined the manner in which fashion is presented via the Internet. A pioneer of fashion film and live fashion broadcasting, SHOWstudio is now recognised as the leading force behind these mediums, offering a unique platform to nurture and encourage fashion to engage with moving image in the digital age. In its documentation of fashion and the arts, SHOWstudio has collaborated with pop culture icons and creatives including Tracey Emin, Lady Gaga, John Galliano, Kate Moss, Alexander McQueen, Charles Jeffrey, Gareth Pugh and many more.
