Rick Owens - A/W 2013-14

Since it was shown on Paris Fashion week everyone speaks about it, about Rick Owens new collection for A/W 2013-14. Already known for his oversized coats, big striking stiletto boots, big comfy T-shits... this collection has all that and much more. Owens' theme for this collection was "Battle-scarred heroism". The whole concept of show was like from some apocalyptic period with smoke, windy hair,  pale faces, layeres, asymmetric, trimmed tails and oversize Japanese-influenced coats. The song following this whole concept was Wagner's "Schmerzen" (eng. "Anguish").
