With Paris Fashion Week in full swing, we examine the latest and ever-controversial collection from the Lord of Darkness himself, Rick Owens.
Rick Owens may be affectionately known as the Lord of Darkness, but that's never stopped the American-born, Paris-based designer from having a bit of fun while ruling over his realm. While his Fall/Winter 2015 lineup saw a series of models exposing their genitals, this season Owens caused a stir by injecting some bold colors into his collection, with one particular model's unsanctioned, bizarre act of protest ensuring that the designer would be grabbing headlines once again.

Rick's trademark black and off-white hues were met with pieces executed in dazzling hi-vis orange, with a smattering of shimmer metallic golds and silvers sneaking their way into the line as well.

Elsewhere, Owens' trademark elongated jackets were given new senses of utility (perhaps continuing the workwear theme established by the hi-vis orange tones) with a smattering of exterior pockets (still big enough to hold a sandwich, one hopes) and altogether more solid, less drapey silhouettes.

For more Rick Owens amusement, take a look at the designer's latest Hong Kong flagship - and its ridiculous, comical furniture.
