His latest collection is layered, oversized leather vests and jackets sit on top of slouchy sweaters with many, many arm and neck holes, perhaps a reference to the versatility in his design. Outerwear pieces are a standout, Owens reimagines classic puffer jackets and coats with new exaggerated lines and shapes. There is an internal logic to his Fall/Winter 2021 Menswear show, Owens uniquely displays masculine and severe-looking leathers in greens and purples that feel more feminine.
Owens' newly redesigned square-toed converses are a highlight. Think of these as a normal converse's much eviler, much cooler twin. Owens is reluctant to collaborate with brands except for when he feels that the collaboration will be meaningful.
About his newest collaboration, he calls the sneakers grotesque, like a parody of the original we all recognize. The latest converse is miles away from the geeky, awkward high tops we (or at least, I) laced up in middle school, and that is a good thing.
