Watch | Designer Rick Owens show had women strapped to other women
Designer Rick Owens hit the headlines with a show that saw models walk with other women harnessed to their bodies. Designed to complement his menswear show, which dealt with themes of masculine aggression, the collection was about the strength of women, transforming trappings of fetishism from ties that hold women down to the ties that bind them together. The designer was inspired by an image of Leigh Bowery carrying his wife Nicola in a harness they would use for a birthing performance.
