Last week fashion designer Rick Owens shocked everyone at
Paris Fashion Week by sending his models out on the runway with their genitalia
on display.
Not even the former enfant terrible, Alexander McQueen ever pushed
the boundaries this far. The whole
incident smacks of the “Rebellion” trend currently sweeping through the fashion
industry. Many people outside fashion circles may not have been familiar with
the name Rick Owens but, thanks to the outrage caused by his recent show, we
may soon find his name up there among the better known designers. So clearly the stunt had its desired effect.

| Little cut-outs in exactly the right place and no underwear created the desired effect. |

| Other outfits left little to the imagination |
And the message behind this? Possibly that being rebellious and the shock factor will set you above the rest. That's all very well but isn't this supposed to be about style and taste? Different strokes ....
