In Paris on Thursday, fashion designer Rick Owens gave audiences quite a show when he sent male models down the runway wearing clothes with peepholes that offered a glimpse of the guys’ formerly private parts.
“Nudity is the most simple and primal gesture — it packs a punch,” Owens said of his decision to have his models bare all. “It’s powerful. … Who else can really get away with this stuff? It’s a corporate world!”
The looks were simply for shock and awe and the attention such reactions generate — after all, they can’t be worn out in public and won’t be sold in stores. But let’s be honest: Were we even shocked? After all, female models have been asked to sashay down runways in states of near nakedness for years.
