Ssense has an excellent interview by Steff Yotka with Alex Munro, veteran casting director for Rick Owens’ shows, about the making of the epic S/S25 show that turns out to have been the closing ceremony of pre-Olympics Era Paris:

At the apex of the Palais de Tokyo’s staircase, beside the bas-reliefs of the nine muses, there’s Munro choreographing the show, doling out groups of models like the conductor of a heavenly human orchestra. Here they come: Tyrone Dylan Susman in a sheer jumpsuit and bold-shouldered coat. Allanah Starr in a draped and caped prong dress. Charles Star Matadin in a gilded hood and Kat Q in sheer layers with shoulders that arc upward toward the sky. And here parades an assemblage of bodies on a litter supported by ten strongmen.
