<div><div> Glamour meets grunge in the dark, dramatic world of Rick Owens </div> <div> There are a few other designers like Rick Owens, whose work is so instantly recognizable by cut and bias alone. Born in California, <B>Rick Owens</B> launched his eponymous label in 1994. His draped, dark, and perfectly cut aesthetic is the antithesis of the sunshine-saturated, bleached-teeth image of LA, and in many ways has been integral to his success.<BR> Owens relocated to Paris in 2003, where his goth meets grunge aesthetic—affectionately known as “glunge”—continues to grow from season and season. Today, Owens is a much loved and respected fixture on the international fashion scene. His vision stretches beyond fashion to include furniture, jewelry, and fur. As well as four fashion collections a year, Owens also designs Lilies, a successful diffusion line that offers a more playful take on the designer’s signature style, a bespoke line of furniture that incorporates everything from antlers to stone and wood, and his own fur collection entitled Palais Royal.<BR> <br> This stunning <B>large format photographic portfolio</B> looks back over <B>i-D’s archives</B> to offer a rare insight into Rick Owens’ all-encompassing world. Highlights include cutting edge imagery from photographers including <B>Corinne Day</B>, <B>Sølve Sundsbø</B> and <B>Hans Feurer</B>, and insightful <B>interviews by Terry Jones</B>, <B>Holly Shackleton</B>, <B>Jo-Ann Furniss </B>and <B>Ben Reardon</B>.</div></div>
