Cue a storm of media coverage and the Instagram hashtag: Dick Owens. The designer – who has a made a career out of creating highly expensive leather jackets – sent out several models minus underwear in tunics featuring peepholes, cut to reveal their genitals. In January, at Rick Owens’ Paris fashion week show, penises swung gently down the runway. That’s right, chaps, this season cocks are in – or, perhaps more specifically – out.
Because the hottest trend in menswear right now is not about clothing but the lack of it. T he phrase “emperor’s new clothes” is rolled out all too often in fashion – but this season it could be bang on the money.
