Los Angeles-based designer Rick Owens eschews hype
in favor of attracting the interest of pivotal fashion folk.
Owens likens his designs to "theater without ostentation and
intimidation." His asymmetrical dresses and fitted jackets,
influenced by the Hollywood glamour in which Owens lives, have
been worn by Courtney Love and Madonna. He was nominated for
this years CFDA's Perry Ellis Award for Emerging Talent and
won the Award. He has worked as a designer for 10 years and
6 of those years were under his own label. His designs are made
for people of his generation, the 40 and 50 year old women,
not the 18 year old supermodel.
