Grace, power and serenity: RICK OWENS women's clothes are a celebration of female capability and strength. With his dark, grunge aesthetic firmly to the fore, Rick Owens’ urban influences and sculptural shapes are both theatrical and functional.

The California-born designer’s apparently simple, minimalist designs disguise the innovative and complex techniques used in their construction. The SS 16 RICK OWENS collection is named Cyclops, suggesting both power and vulnerability; this year’s fashion show saw models stride down the runway carrying another woman - a symbol of the way all women shoulder burdens, however daunting they may appear.

Vintage glamour is given urban edginess in RICK OWENS online. A tubular long dress in translucent viscose and silk jersey has a scoop neck and racerback for an athleisure feel: accessorise with gladiator sandals and a tan. The designer's take on the high leg swimsuit is a revelation: perfect for beach to bar, this asymmetric cutaway also looks striking when worn with loose pants.

Drop crotch “bud” shorts in pure silk crepe are almost seamless in construction and have an elasticated waist for a perfect fit: pair with Rick Owens high top shoes for an edgy off-duty look. Complete your outfit with a covetable flight jacket in riffle viscose/cupro: this versatile piece looks equally chic worn with a long, sculptural skirt.

For maximum impact, the long skirt can be worn as a suit with a wrap jacket in matching textured silk galle fabric, perfect for making a confident, feminine statement.
