Rick Owens, often hailed as one of the most influential designers of his generation, is celebrated for his dark, avant-garde aesthetic and striking, sculptural silhouettes. After studying pattern making at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, he launched his namesake label in 1994. His career gained momentum in the early 2000s when a Vogue stylist discovered his designs, leading to high-profile features and collaborations with retailers like Barneys. Known for redefining modern fashion with his innovative use of drapery, unique materials, and monochromatic tones, Owens has cultivated a devoted following. This pair of leather Geobaskets from his Autumn/Winter 2015 “SPHINX” collection showcases the designer’s signature oversized tongues and functional side zippers for easy wear. Featuring a bold black-and-white colorway, the sneakers are crafted from premium leather, blending durability with Owens’ unmistakable edgy, futuristic design.
