Big shoulders have been hot for several seasons now, with the square, boxy kind seen everywhere from Balenciaga to Vetements to Saint Laurent. It's true designers have been mining the '80s for inspiration, hence other trends from that decade like psychedellic prints and stirrup pants filtering through the runways.

The operative word here being performance, or rather, “Performa,” the title of this new collection. This season, Owens was contemplating his own tendencies to “perform” at age 58."I had always regarded personal behavior, social and moral, as something to quietly but diligently work on improving," he explained in the show notes, adding that the Instagram generation makes refining behavior versus indulging in performance a weird balancing act.

This resulted in a heavy dose of"theater" in the collection, including the aforementioned coats and jackets with"monstrous" shoulders and extended, spindly arms. To be sure, while there were scatterings of flourishes like colorful snakeskin prints and leopard print satins, the collection was predominantly grounded in a neutral, muted base with dusty grays and cashmeres.

Big shoulders aside, the other decade of reference in this collection was the '70s, with the series of knits traced with linear graphicsJapanese designer Kansai Yamamoto did for David Bowie. Platform boots with steel-capped toes and transparent heels rounded out the retro vibe, while flashes of exposed flesh added a raw, seductive energy to the show. Here's everything else you need to know about the collection.
