Rick Owen's latest Menswear Winter-Fall Collection for 2015 in the Paris Fashion Week has surprised editors and socialites sending hushed voices and giggles in the crowd as his models wear outfits with a strategic peep hole in its center exposing their penises.

The designer's designs consist of ponchos and tailored dresses with muted colors of brown, black and gray colors for men with a deconstructed design at its hems and a that surprising hole that exposed the models' sexual organs. Unedited pictures exposing the models' balls can be seen in Globalgrind.

The US Magazine reported that Rick Owens previously had a press release saying that the inspiration for such odd clothing comes from "a forgotten black and white french movie set in a military submarine. The mood is about the strain of preserving reason under extreme pressure.

But models exposing their manhood did not look pressured at all. Instead, a laidback expressions can be seen from their faces.

As said by The Guardian, the four chosen models are informed before the show. As one model said, "It was not a thing at all. I just noticed it when I looked at the photo board and saw that there were cocks hanging about. Ha!"

Meanwhile, lots of people online have reacted to Rick Owens' collection.

As reported on E! Online, on Twitter user posted, "I bet more than height and waist measurements were taken at the Rick Owens casting.

One post goes, "I can't believe Rick Owens sent dudes in pee-hole ponchos down the runway. That's either lunacy or genius, but I don't know which."

Another user also said: "Rick Owens makes #freethepenis trending." Something tells us the penis has already been freed.

A source from the Daily Mail, on the other hand, said that most attendees are busy texting and have missed the moment.

"The penises weren't the point of the show - it was blink-and-you-miss-it - but many editors were cursing themselves afterward for missing them because they were too busy texting."
