[WATCH] Fashion Designer Rick Owens Incorporates Stepping In Paris Fashion Week Show
Chances are, if you attended an HBCU, you’re familiar with the art of stepping.
For years, ‘stepping’ has been an instrumental part of black fraternity and sororities. This week, American fashion designer, Rick Owens, integrated steppers into his runway fashion show during Paris Fashion Week. The California native avant-garde designer brought out women, locked up, marching with attendees probably confused and entertained simultameously. A student from Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., told the Los Angeles Times:
He recruited us after he saw us on YouTube. It’s our first time in Paris, and we’re having a blast.
Peep the pix and some of the footage.

That was something different for Fashion Week In Paris. I wonder how did everybody there feel about it? Good idea on his part though.
so…..were they wearing the fashions? good way to think outside the box.
i hope not.
I read somewhere else online that they were actually wearing clothes from his Spring ’14 ready to wear collection. I do like that he had diversity on the runway, in terms of ethnicity and body size. And since he was just criticized recently for never having women of color in his shows I’m choosing to feel proud and not to shade them… it was a great opportunity for the women to travel and perform so that’s another plus.
