Inspired by environmental anxieties and the inevitability of change, Owens channels his emotions into his designs, creating pieces that are both thought-provoking and beautiful.

The collection’s name, Mastodon, alludes to extinct giants, reminding us of humanity’s impact on the world. Owens doesn’t shy away from addressing global warming or the specter of mass extinction. Yet, amidst the weighty themes, there’s a surprising lightness. His designs embrace the idea of blending into the universe, symbolized by ethereal mohair dresses and soft, brushed textures.

While Owens often flirts with drama, this collection balances boldness with wearability. Over-the-knee leather sneaker boots paired with draped tunics offer a futuristic vibe, while oversized puffer capes and fuzzy mohair gowns evoke comfort. Soft colors like pistachio green and cream bring a sense of optimism, even as some silhouettes hint at a cocoon-like retreat from the chaos of the world.
