Rick Owens
After dropping out of Otis College of Art and Design, Rick Owens founded his eponymous label in Los Angeles. Now based in Paris, the House is renowned for its groundbreaking collections and gothic aesthetic – simply look at Rick Owens' shoes for proof. Styles like Rick Owens trainers and Dr. Martens biker boots spotlight the rebellious spirit and luxe-grunge essence that earned him the unique title of 'The Lord of Darkness.' However, a penchant for the unconventional isn't everything the label offers. The designer's background in pattern-cutting allows each design to be put together and deconstructed like a piece of art, from Rick Owens' trousers and shorts – which pair perfectly with its longline tops and jackets – to structured dresses and skirts.
