Rick Owens Is Finding a Balance Between Control and Collapse

This week, a new exhibition dedicated to the work of Rick Owens titled, “Rick Owens: Temple of Love,” opens at the Palais Galliera in Paris—the third such retrospective ever given to a living designer following shows on Azzedine Alaïa in 2013, and Martin Margiela in 2018. Owens joins Nicole Phelps from his office in Paris to discuss how the show came together, his early days as a designer, and his advice for young fashion students.
