Private Guided Tour of Rick Owens Exhibition
This summer, Paris becomes the epicenter of avant-garde fashion as the legendary Rick Owens takes over the Palais Galliera with the exhibition Temple of Love—a powerful retrospective that is part art installation, part rebellion, and entirely unforgettable.
More than just a fashion exhibition, this is a full-scale artistic takeover. From brutalist sculptures in the garden to sequinned-draped statues on the museum’s façade, Owens blurs the lines between clothing, architecture, and performance. If you’ve ever been intrigued by the drama and depth of his designs, this private guided tour of the Rick Owens Temple of Love exhibition at the Palais Galliera is one you don’t want to miss.

Why You Should Visit:
Rick Owens is not just a designer—he is a cultural force. From his roots in Los Angeles cutting patterns with salvaged materials to commanding the Paris fashion scene with sculptural, rebellious creations, Owens has always challenged conventions.
Temple of Love is the first-ever exhibition in Paris dedicated to Rick Owens—and it arrives with the force of a manifesto.
The exhibition features over 100 silhouettes tracing the designer’s evolution from his early days in Los Angeles to his latest sculptural works in Paris. You’ll witness a creative journey rooted in reclaimed materials, underground culture, and 1930s Hollywood glamour—interpreted through the lens of spiritual ritual and political defiance. His signature muted tones, including the iconic “dust” grey, are displayed alongside bold, vibrant creations born from global unrest and cultural critique.
Owens himself is the exhibition’s artistic director. He transforms the Palais Galliera into a multisensory experience: statues wrapped in sequined fabrics, the façade repurposed as a canvas, and the museum’s gardens filled with 30 monolithic cement sculptures and lush Californian vines.
Inside, his universe unfolds in raw intimacy—featuring never-before-seen archives, videos, and personal documents. The presence of his creative and life partner, Michèle Lamy, permeates the show, including a recreation of their bedroom. Works by Gustave Moreau, Joseph Beuys, and Steven Parrino appear alongside Owens’s pieces, illuminating the sources of his provocative style.
This isn’t just fashion—it’s philosophy, rebellion, and poetry. Presented as a temple to love, beauty, and diversity, the exhibit is an unfiltered meditation on what it means to create in a collapsing world.
It’s immersive. It’s unfiltered. It’s everything fashion should dare to be.
