Rick Owens Fall/Winter 2012 | Paris Fashion Week
The Dark Arts–Rick Owens’ man finds himself somewhere in between fencing and racing for the designer’s latest chapter. Kicking off the season with fitted ensembles, high-waist trousers made the perfect companion to narrow tops, cut to perfection. Moving on to suiting as a more traditional turn for Owens, jackets were fastened with one button for an asymmetrical close, while the fit on trousers indicated a subtle shift in the collection. Embracing a wider silhouette for trousers and readying the runway for his beloved work with leather, a cropped jacket appeared with a fantastic silhouette, that gained momentum against later voluminous looks that employed quilting and other techniques for a strong dark finish.
Rick Owens Spring 2012 | Paris Fashion Week
Dark Romance–Never one to conform to the norms, Rick Owens puts the ideals of masculinity to the test for spring 2012. Dresses after dresses, the California-native set out to take control of his definition of noir elegance for men with maxi lengths of billowing proportions, while strict graphic lines and tailored jackets offered a subliminal contrast to the disheveled silhouette. Still heavy in Goth, the apocalyptic DNA is altered for a lighter offspring of tunic tops, elongated outerwear and trim trousers in a lightweight silk and linen blend for an outing in uncharted romantic terrorities for the king of dark glamor.

Rick Owens Fall 2011 | Paris Fashion Week
Cut from gray and black, Rick Owens’ latest designs revolve around an angular look for fall. From asymmetrical zippers on boots and a signature exercise in draping to new hardware adornments, Owens continues a unique path. Displaying an unusual softness despite the hard edges, the collection finds momentum in graphic lines defined by color, texture and form. Intertwining the usually dark color palette with a sheen finish, fall’s collection is rounded out with a formal feel.

All eyes were on Rick Owens when one of his signature leather jackets was worn by Kate Moss in Vogue Paris, photographed by the late Corrine Day. He presented his first collection in New York in 2002 with the support of Anna Wintour, who later featured the designer in a spread in Vogue. His menswear collection was launched the following season and it has since become a cult favorite. After two seasons, Owens relocated to Paris from Los Angeles and his runway shows are among one of the most anticipated during fashion week. His dark aesthetic has started a new sub-genre in fashion and has paved the way for new designers with similar vision. The label expanded with more affordable lines, Lillies and DRKSHDW and in the summer of 2008, a furniture range was added to the empire of Rick Owens.
