Rick Owens AW17 “GLITTER” Cropped Sculptural Hybrid Wool Jacket

  Rick Owens’ Autumn/Winter 2017 “GLITTER” collection drew inspiration from the 1970s glam rock era, embodying a defiant flamboyance in reaction to turbulent times. The collection emphasized the “glitter of civilization,” reflecting on grace, dignity, and integrity.  A standout piece was the sculptural wool jacket, characterized by dense, rigid wool that jutted out and collapsed around the body in stiff folds, creating a protective yet elegant silhouette. This design exemplified Owens’ exploration of contemporary ceremonies and personal behavior, encouraging a positive approach to societal challenges.
