The Rick Owens ‘Temple of Love’ exhibition at Paris’s Palais Galliera marks a significant milestone as the first comprehensive retrospective of the avant-garde designer’s work in the French capital. Curated with Owens’ direct involvement, the showcase spans his entire career — from his early Los Angeles days to his latest collections.
The ‘Temple of Love’ exhibition offers an immersive journey through the designer’s distinctive aesthetic. More than 100 iconic garments are displayed alongside personal archives, video installations, and previously unseen works. The exhibition extends beyond traditional fashion displays by incorporating fine art, including pieces by Gustave Moreau and Joseph Beuys. This serves to contextualize Owens’ influences. A notable focus is given to the collaborative role of his wife, Michèle Lamy, with even their California bedroom recreated as part of the narrative.
