A designer known for pushing the boundaries has taken the notion of accessorising to another level.
Rick Owens' show at Paris Fashion Week featured models heading down the runway wearing other models who hung limp from their bodies like backpacks or were paraded upside down, legs rigid above their carrier's head.
The designer's display for his 2016 Spring/Summer collection, Cyclops, was explained as a salute to sisterhood and a literal take on the support women give each other.
"[It's] about nourishment, sisterhood/motherhood and regeneration; women raising women, women becoming women, and women supporting women - a world of women I know little about and can only attempt to amuse in my own small way... Straps can be about restraint but here they are all about support and cradling. Straps here become loving ribbons," he said in a release about his show.
