When Rick Owens says "basics," you know it’s not going to be your average wardrobe. At Paris Fashion Week, the designer known for his bold and unconventional style decided to strip things back—but, of course, in a way only he could.

The show opened with long johns and melton coats, which might sound simple, but Owens added his signature twist. Leather jackets scrunched up to the navel, and those long johns? Paired with a crop top that showcased the model’s impressive physique.

Owens himself joked about his approach to basics, saying, “I just wear socks and shorts.” It’s that laid-back Californian vibe that he carries even when creating high-fashion pieces.

But don’t be fooled by the word "basic." This collection was anything but ordinary. The executive-style coats came with sharp shoulders, and hoodies were stark white, making a statement without trying too hard.

Owens also took a moment to praise the beauty of the human form. “A beautiful body is still more exciting than expensive clothes,” he said, referencing his own dedication to fitness.

This show was a reminder that even when Rick Owens keeps it simple, he still manages to surprise and inspire. Basics, sure—but basics with a bold, Owens edge.
