However, judging by people's reactions to the strange concept on social media, it seems that his message might have got a bit lost because of its shock factor.
He explains that the straps over here are not about restraint but rather all about support and all about 'support and cradling', where straps become 'loving ribbons'.
"I see that focused vision being more 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
Reportedly, the idea behind this theme refers to women’s ability to support and nurture each other in a strong bond of sisterhood.
Rick Owens had also made headlines earlier this year when his menswear show featured male models with revealed penises on the catwalk.
We wonder how the models managed to finish this apparently uncomfortable catwalk without any hitches.
The models were seen on the ramp with other models clinging to their backs and strapped upside-down. Their arms and legs were hanging like they were some sort of accessory, very much like, 'human backpacks'.
