Rick Owens Leather Jacket
Rick Owens is a young, perspective fashion designer, born in California, U.S.A.. After graduating at the Otis college of Art and Design, he founded his new label - the year was 1994. Not even 10 years after that, he signed a contract with the Italian Eo Bocci Associati, which distributes his works into the whole world.
His trademark style could be described as an experiment with the conservative - the series of Rick Owens leather jackets is one of the results. While maintaining a clean, sleeky look using italian leather, the placement of zip and other accessories makes you stand out. This whole piece of clothing is basically made of the most luxury resources, from the already mentioned leather coming from the northern parts of the Apennine Penisula to comforting panels of wool ribbing on the inner sides of your sleeves.
The jacket itself can be combined with an elegant set of pants and boots, resulting into a rather attractive combination of avant-garde and classy looks. Creamy, black and white colors seem to work very well along it. Don't forget to wear a handbag - it'll make the otherwise monochromatic outfit look more interesting.
It is noteworthy that clothes with Rick Owens label on them are somehow scarce - being partially an expensive way of rich hipsters to spend money and a unique brand in the industry, most of the luxury e-shops are usually are out of stock, if not listing some of the items as sold out. If you are lucky enough, you should be able to find a piece in one of the high-society fashion outlets around big cities.
There is currently no information on Rick's next moves, so we cannot be sure if there's going to be another collection containing the leather jacket in it anytime soon - concerning the exclusive nature of these clothes, it's improbable that there would be another shipment of the same item. Hopefully, a smiliar model will make it into catalogues very soon, as it seems to be one of the most wanted models.
Along the very popular Rick Owen's leather jacket, we can also find a range of other products in the current collection. Women tops, pants or sweaters are usually very simple, using one or two colors seems to be designer's specialty. Pants and trousers are available in both wider and narrows designs, Rick also likes to use the infamous crotch design, not perceived positively but everyone.
Men's line contains some very interesting coat designs, fine-knit clothing inspired by the urban-style movement, followed up by similiary influenced boots, with thick rabbets and street-looking inside out.
One way or another, as long as you have a dime to spare and are not afraid of making your outfit stand out a little bit without closely following conservative fashion designer's trends, Rick Owen's label is a way to go. The price may seem to be set a little bit to high at the first glance, but once you fall in love with his minimalistic, eccentric designs, you'll never want to undress.
