Of male nudity, flopping genitals and more –Rick played a Trick: Rick Owens Fall Winter 2015: Paris Menswear Fashion Week



The idea was to deconstruct and recreate the mysterious essence of male masculinity. Full-frontal “male nudity” in the world of mainstream cinema, art and to a certain extent even fashion has always been considered something outrageously X-Rated, bizarre, ugly, funny, dirty and unnatural. Yes, Rick  shocked and amused lot of people, by sending three of his models in deconstructed tunics, featuring strategic peephole opening revealing the model’s genital. The humorous side of social media wasted no time to dub him as #dickowens. But, no, flopping penises were not the protagonist of the show.  There was more to Rick’s collection. It was a fashion forward moment, a conversation starter (Read: social media) on why something as natural as male genital is considered a taboo. And, yes, Rick completely succeeded in his carefully thought wardrobe malfunction.

No matter what, the show must go on. The collection was a direct reference to the recent jihadist attacks in the French capital, which killed 12 people, including the editor and four other cartoonists, of the French satirical weekly magazine Charlie Hebdo.

A perfect blend of masculinity and elegance, the luxurious collection by Silvia Venturini for Fendi Fall 2015 menswear was stylishly classic yet ultra- modern.
