About the brand

Rick Owens is an American fashion designer who founded his eponymous label in 1994 after studying at Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles. Initially operating under the radar with a dedicated following in underground glam rock and grunge communities, Owens gained international recognition in 2001 when Kate Moss was photographed wearing his designs in Paris Vogue. The brand represents a unique fusion of post-apocalyptic grunge with luxurious elegance, often described as "glunge" - a combination of glamour and grunge. Owens' designs are characterized by a minimalist color palette dominated by blacks, grays, and whites, featuring stark asymmetrical shapes and deconstructed silhouettes. His collections incorporate high-quality materials such as cashmere, leather, silk, and denim, combined with contrasting details and oversized cuts. The brand embodies a philosophy of rebellion and nonconformity, creating pieces that challenge traditional fashion norms while maintaining couture-like sophistication and craftsmanship.

What people are saying

The Cut

The appealingly new thing at Rick Owens were the stocking dresses that opened his show... They're a natural fit in Owens's aesthetic.

I always thought his shoes were like tanks. Intarsia feels indestructible. No issues with his pants either.

Yet, as anyone whose partaken knows, many Owens pieces are wearable, comfortable and almost sporty in their slip-on ease.

I really admire his independence and the niche aesthetic that he made global. Rick created a home for people who felt excluded from stereotypical style.

I see a lot of chatter. on Reddit. and stuff about Rick being only made for really tall. people i kind of beg to differ i'm not tall. and I'm not skinny i got a little bit of thickness on my bod. and these pants have a lot of room to move around and stuff

Owens has built one of the most relevant and successful independent brands in fashion today thanks to his loyal followers, a cult of creatively hungry and unabashedly expressive fashion obsessives.

The Impression

Throughout the collection there is a concerted sustainable push, as has been Owens way of working for a number of years, yet he is oddly very rarely lauded as a leading sustainable brand.

I love it, however, the sleeves are too damn long...

Jul, 2024

If you haven't bought Rick in years, be aware with current sizing. I find they don't fit as big as they used to. I used to fit a 39 creeper. I have a size 40 now, and they are still snug.

He said the sole had a design flaw (the leather sole was two pieces joined at the heel) that would've split. Fair point, why would you join two pieces of leather at the point where the seam will flex the most when you walk?

Mar, 2025

They're just not long lasting due to the outsoles, which are not durable (drkshdw lasts longer but drkshdw geos dont exist), they're not easy to fix/replace and you won't get the original look back.

Feb, 2024

It is what it is and I've made my peace that at 5”8/173cm a lot of Rick rtw is just never going to fit me as it was intended to.
