An interminable collision of light and shadow, Rick Owens' status as the international godfather of the gothic avant-garde is legend; a legacy which will pass from this generation to the next.
Revered for his desolate sensibility and earthy palette of natural hues contrast with stark flashes of all black and all white, Owens' contribution to global luxury and streetwear has transcended single definition for decades - standing, statuesque, as a symbol of true individuality and aesthetic voice in a system built to force designers to bend and break to the whim or trends and seasonality.
Celebrating the stoicism of the inimitable Rick with this graphic editorial, UrlfreezeShops places a selection of Owens' latest arrivals under the spotlight in this contrast heavy spread for AW18.
