Second out through the billowing, dyed smoke, after Estonian rapper Tommy Cash, Susman wore voluminous black combat pants and a deconstructed white tank top that exposed half his ripped torso. Susman, who has opened every Rick Owens men’s show since spring/summer 2020, had his first taste of the designer’s runway at the Babel spring/summer 2019 men’s show.

Last year I wrote about Rick Owens presenting strong clothesthat can be worn by any body type and in extreme movement. There is also lot of talk in Paris this season about clothes that empower women, clothes that make you sexy without having to show a lot of skin, without revealing too much. Jared Leto, Kanye West, and Kim, with her mother, Kris Jenner, were there. Whereas in the past, throngs of buyers and press would crowd in anticipation at the entrance of an Azzedine Alaïa presentation, now it is crowds of screaming teens at the barriers of the Balmain show, desperate to catch a glimpse of a Kardashian, kids trying to get pictures of the models and celebrities. ![]() This Spring Summer 2016 season in Paris I look at the celebrity media circus around certain designers and their entourage and it feels very dated.
