@rickowensonline highly personal SS26 men’s collection is an ode to the “glamour and sleaze” that Owens was searching for on Hollywood Boulevard. Named after his major retrospective, Temple Of Love, which opens at @palaisgallieramuseedelamode the collection reflected a sense of “finality and decline” with a track by Klaus Nomi. #rickowens #parisfashionweek

As the shadow of fascism falls over Los Angeles, few exhibitions feel as chillingly timely as POLICE STATE by Nadya Tolokonnikova (@pussyriot), now on view at @moca’s warehouse space—just steps from where the Trump administration has deployed armed forces against civilians. Tolokonnikova, who served time in a Russian prison for the same defense of freedom, has reconstructed her former cell here. It’s a claustrophobic monument to resistance, its walls lined with artwork by political prisoners, its air filled with haunting Russian lullabies and ambient soundscapes. A small monitor flickers with smuggled footage from inside a real Russia penal colony. The effect is visceral, poetic, and pointed: a stark reminder that freedom is fragile—and must be defended. On view through June 14. #policestate #nadyatolokonnikova #pussyriot #ice #protest #losangeles
