Rick Owens launched his first collection in 1994 and has since gone on to develop one of the cult labels of today, lauded for its grunge-luxe aesthetic that marries innovative techniques, stark tones and distressed details.

Inspired by underground communities and glam rock, Rick Owens is known for its creative couture designs; think slim leather jackets, destroyed knits and fluid jersey separates designed with architectural lines. Specializing in avant-garde yet wearable pieces, the brand is a clear example of how fashion has become one of the many faces of modern innovation.
