Rick Owens.

Rick Owens is an American-born, Paris-based designer whose groundbreaking collections have earned him the nickname The Master of Glamorous Grunge. Influencing countless designers, his gothic aesthetic boasts a fashion-sportswear hybrid with gender neutral design in the hottest color of the season…always black.

His cult-like status means his designs can be seen everywhere from the racks of obscure boutiques to dressing the hottest names in hip hop, including A$AP Rocky who rapped “Rick Owens usually what I’m dressed in” in his 2011 hit “Peso.”

Rick Owens brand stands for exclusivity and aesthetics. His trademark is artful fashion with the color focus black. Glamorous grunge and extroverted rock’n’roll – these styles determine the supporting elements of Rick Owens designer collections.

For this, striking materials such as denim and leather as well as contrasting stud details are used. The cuts of the designs are mostly straightforward, with a minimalist silhouette. Romantic accents are added to Rick Owens fashion with delicate materials such as silk. The unique cut lines and details are perfectly accentuated with the neutral color palette, which consists mainly of black, white and beige.
