A Rick Owens collection with frills, pastels and classical music. Spring 2015 was a real change of mood. Owens started with the Ballets Russes, and then asked what would happen if the Bauhaus architect Marcel Breuer made clothes out of tulle.

The answer was a new silhouette for him: a strict smock with tulle flaring out at each side, like a tutu that had been pressed flat. The fabrics were crimped and honeycombed, and at the back the shapes opened into floating parachute wings. The colours were just as unexpected. Pale gold, khaki, baby blue and pink are not shades anyone associated with Owens before this.

There was decoration too, with snaking embroideries and a finale of looks carrying sculptural funnels of fabric. The soundtrack was the Polish composer Wojciech Kilar instead of his usual electronic noise. The only harsh note came from the clogs, which clacked loudly around the runway and kept everything from getting too sweet.

It is a lyrical, light collection that still has architectural weight. For anyone who thinks Owens only does black, this is the one to show them.
