Rick Owens: Temple of Love

A gothic hymn to beauty, power and personal mythology — Rick Owens has never been one for subtle statements. At Palais Galliera, Temple of Love is his first exhibition in Paris, but it’s more than a retrospective — it’s a spiritual blueprint of Rick Owens’ world. Over 100 looks, never-before-seen artefacts, brutalist sculptures and monastic palettes trace his evolution from LA outsider to Parisian prophet. Curated alongside Alexandre Samson, this is fashion as philosophy, couture as confession. Owens confronts chaos with tenderness, wrapping statues in sequins and gardens in Californian wildflowers. Inside? His reconstructed LA bedroom, Bowie memorabilia, and boundary-breaking short films. Outside? 30 cement totems. A modern monument to discipline, decadence and divine disruption. On view until 4 January at Palais Galliera — you won’t leave the same. Produced by HD FASHION TV Instagram: HD FASHION TV   / hdfashion.tv
