Framed by a glowing wall he called “a gateway to heaven,” the show exuded a quiet confidence that felt both modern and timeless. At its heart were long, streamlined “pillar skirts” in black, white, and terra-cotta tones, their high back slits adding an understated allure. These were paired with sculptural tops reminiscent of Renaissance and couture influences, balancing modesty with a graceful sensuality. Owens played with texture and form, using utilitarian fabrics like cotton duck and leather to create striking patchwork jackets and fluid, column-like silhouettes.

The collection’s subtle seduction came through in the smallest details—fabrics gathered delicately at the breastbone or a fishtail gown with a single seam. Owens’ vision proved that elegance and sensuality can coexist in a way that feels effortlessly modern. True to his ethos, he made radical design accessible. Owens’ approach challenges fashion norms, making bold silhouettes wearable for everyday life. “Extremity should be accessible,” he explained. It’s this ethos, blending artistry with wearability.
