Facing bureaucratic and logistical hurdles before his Milan exhibit, Rick Owens transformed his frustration into his fall men’s collection, aptly named Sisyphus. This name references the Greek mythological king condemned to perpetually push a boulder uphill as punishment for his arrogance. Owens drew on his exasperation to create the collection’s distinctive slashed shapes, precarious lumps, and labor-intensive coats and capes. Taut straps and chains barely held together the massive forms, which featured a primal palette of grays and browns. For a designer known for carving his unique path, this collection marked a return to the raw, primal, and brutalist aesthetics that have solidified his status as a stalwart in the fashion industry.
