I love Rick Owens. He is one of the greats when it comes to fashion designers of the 21st century. If you like dressing conservatively, you probably won't rock with Rick's designs so much. His dark, flowy, future-goth aesthetic is as insane(ly cool) as it is iconic. He is the godfather of "brutal chic". His last three collections were called:
- SS17 WALRUS
- FW16 MASTODON
- SS16 CYCLOPS
Which is cool as hell.

I can keep lauding over Rick, but I'll give some background and real facts. Owens is a designer originally from Porterville, California, though he spends most of his time nowadays in Europe. He studied fashion design at Otis College of Art and Design in LA. He eventually dropped out and began his journey into the fashion world by making knock offs of designer clothing, not knowing he would eventually make designer clothing that gets knocked off. He designs both women and menswear. Owenscorp (his company) made about $120 million in revenue back in 2014. This just goes to show his impact on the industry, and the colossus that he has created.

In the streetwear scene (god I cringe just saying that sometimes) Rick is ever present in his sneakers. Geobaskets and Ramones specifically. His monstrous, powerful homages to Nike and Converse shoes are his most popular sneaker silhouettes. I also want both but I don't have $2000 to spend.

That's a little background on one of my favorite designers.
