The collection features a mix of flowing silhouettes and structured designs, often playing with proportions. Models walked the runway in layered outfits that combined sheer fabrics with bold shapes, creating an ethereal yet powerful look. The color palette leaned heavily on muted tones, primarily blacks and whites, which is characteristic of Owens’ aesthetic. This choice allows the intricate details of each piece to stand out without overwhelming the viewer.

Owens has a knack for storytelling through fashion. Each outfit seems to convey a narrative, inviting the audience to ponder deeper meanings behind the garments. The use of unusual textures and shapes adds an element of surprise, keeping spectators engaged throughout the show. It’s clear that Owens designs with intention, aiming to evoke emotions rather than simply showcase clothing.

Owens’ collection also carried deep symbolism. The final looks resembled climate refugees, with models adorned in layers of humble clothing and fanny packs that seemed to hold emotional weight. However, Owens offered an alternative viewpoint: “It’s a show about hope.” He likened these pieces to confections like meringues, suggesting they symbolize life-giving seeds rather than despair.

The designs featured intricate details like delicate beading and vibrant green fabrics that evoked nature’s resilience. This collection, aptly named “Dirt,” plays with themes of fertility and rebirth while challenging conventional aesthetics.
