Fans react hilariously to Rick Owens’ FW24 Paris Fashion Week 2024 collection: “I’m done with fashion” 

Rick Owens, considered a virtuoso in the world of dark fashion, unveiled the fall/winter collection for his eponymous brand during the Paris Fashion Week. As per GQ, to showcase the clothing elements, Owens chose his years-old house, where he invited around a hundred guests.

He named the collection 'Porterville,' after his hometown in California, paying tribute to his birthplace. The collection included puffer jackets, vests, furry wraps, and so on. However, what drew the most attention was the balloon footwear, which left netizens in splits, leading to many trolling the brand on social media.

As per Hypebeast, Rick Owen designed the elements with rubber scraps and bicycle tires to accentuate the importance of upcycled materials.
