  • California-born Owens started his own label in 1994, designing men's and women's clothing and accessories.
  • After many of years of maintaining a cult following, Owens won the 2002 CFDA Perry Ellis Award for Emerging Talent.
  • Owens' work is dark and moody, with elongated silhouettes and dramatic layering and cutting. He describes his own work as "glunge"--a mixture or glamor and grunge.
  • All Rick Owens pieces are manufactured in a factory in Italy using truly the finest materials.
  • A line of stark, modern furniture is also designed and produced by Owens.
