Rick Owens

Born in California and based in Paris, Rick Owens has pushed the boundaries of avant-garde fashion through his aesthetic that combines glamour and grunge.

Since founding his label in 1994, he has become known for his provocative designs, gaining the support of Anna Wintour and a cult following. Owens' collections, often predominantly black, exude a dark, urban sophistication. Key pieces in his rebellious, romantic vision include iconic leather jackets, draped knitwear, asymmetrical dresses, and unusual proportions and cuts.
