“I’m not the kind of designer that says, ‘I just went to China and this is my inspiration,’” prefaced Rick Owens as he sat on a staircase in the Palais de Tokyo. “But I just went to Egypt, and they have those shapes, those beautiful shapes, and I thought if I did that as a Dan Flavin helmet, that would be so cool.” By combining the headwear profiles of Ancient Egypt with some adroitly applied Philips light bulbs, Owens created headpieces that doubled as lamps—“they’re all free-standing.” He named the collection Strobe.
