Rick Owens contemplated the extinction of the prehistoric mastodon in his fall 2016 collection, in which he provided bleak commentary on potential environmental devastation. Shapes and colors of the mighty mastodon are suggested by the gray, crushed velvet cape and a furry, undulating angora mini dress — which is meant to give the illusion of evaporating.
