RICK OWENS SS26 MENS TEMPLE

Rick Owens' Spring/Summer 2026 menswear collection, Temple, unfolds as a theatrical meditation on legacy, metamorphosis, and raw sensuality. Presented at Paris' Palais de Tokyo, the runway features models descending a towering scaffold into a fountain, fully submerging in water before climbing back up—an emblem of rebirth and resilience. The collection foregrounds Owens's signature language: slashed Tuscan leathers, studded straps, voluminous flight jackets, and towering platform boots, all rendered in a strict monochrome palette. Coinciding with a Temple of Love retrospective at the Palais Galliera, this presentation offers a poignant reflection on his career and the enduring motifs of love and mortality.
