Iconic LA designer Rick Owens has been experimenting in diffusion labels and now his Rick Owens Drkshdw clothing for Fall/Winter 2009 is available for purchase. The collection contains all the things Owens is known for including asymmetrical lines, sculptural designs and super-soft t-shirts.
The men’s Rick Owens Drkshdw clothing line is considerably cheaper than Rich Owens’ namesake collection, but will still set you back a pretty penny. Pieces begin to retail at $265 (for a tee) and go as high as $1599 (for a corduroy and leather jacket).
