Designer Rick Owens debuted his spring/summer 2014 collection in Paris today. In lieu of models, Owens called upon a team of step dancers to show off his clothing.
They marched down a metal staircase...
... and took to the runway.
They performed a routine much more rigorous than mere cat-walking.
And the fashion crowd went mostly wild with praise.
The most powerful and provocative statement this season, nay in the last decade (?) yet from Rick Owens http://t.co/67plzRw0y8

This spectacle resulted in what might be the only literally fierce runway stills in the history of fashion.
