Rick Owens
Rick Owens is an American fashion designer celebrated for his avant-garde, dark, and edgy aesthetic. Often referred to as the “Lord of Darkness” of fashion, Owens’ designs are characterised by dramatic silhouettes, elongated lines, draped tailoring, and a minimalist yet rebellious approach.
Founded in the early 2000s, the Rick Owens brand encompasses ready-to-wear, footwear, and accessories, with collections that merge Gothic sensibilities, architectural precision, and luxury craftsmanship. Signature elements include monochromatic palettes, oversized layering, distressed fabrics, and bold footwear designs, particularly his high-top sneakers and sculptural boots.
Owens’ work has a strong influence from punk, grunge, and underground subcultures, attracting a devoted following of fashion enthusiasts who appreciate artful experimentation and boundary-pushing designs. Beyond fashion, Owens has expanded into homeware and furniture, applying the same sculptural and minimalistic ethos.
