Rick Owens

American fashion designer Rick Owens is notorious for his unconventional approach towards fashion. With a love for all that is rebellious and revolutionary, Owens is best known for his consistent use of black and industrial shapes.

Incorporating this distinctive style into all his pieces, including shirts, jackets, tops and suits, Rick Owens has created a reputation for producing edgy, statement pieces. His 2010 collection, focusing on this theme, saw him create his most critically acclaimed collection to date.

Constantly seeking to push the boundaries of the fashion world, the Californian-born designer revels in producing pieces that set their wearers aside from the crowd. His Folded Kutte Top in black is a prime example of a piece that strikes the perfect balance between elegance and drama. Layer up with other garments from the range for a more casual approach, or wear alone to showcase its unique draping neckline.

Since his label’s foundation in 1994, Rick Owens has excelled in producing high quality outfits aimed towards those seeking to create a unique fashion identity. At Hervia, we have included a varied assembly of his pieces to suit a range of personalities and requirements. Whether your style is laid-back chic, or you are of a more revolutionary persuasion, we have a fantastic selection to choose from.

Whilst items differ from piece to piece, common features of his work include prominent zips, sharp diagonal angles and high necked styles. Rick Owens himself once claimed that it was his vision to bring to life garments that concentrate on “elegance tinged with a bit of the barbaric”. Take a look through the collection to see how Owens manages to combine these extraordinary notions.

With such innovative concepts and stylish finishes, it is no wonder Rick Owens’s work is endorsed by the likes of Courtney Love and Madonna. Already highly established amongst fashion’s most innovative circles, it is the versatility of his clothes that have brought his name into the mainstream, with stores now open in New York, London, Tokyo, Seoul and Hong Kong. In such high demand, his creations were even included in the 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada.

Create off-the-cuff chic by teaming up his famous Robot Jackets with a simple pair of jeans, or go all out and show off your creative flair by pairing together his laceless black boots with some panelled black trousers.

Alongside a set of exquisitely tailored garments, you will also find a selection of accessories, including wallets and iPhone holders, to allow your newly acquired sense of style to seep in to all areas of your life.
