In 1994 he began his own label, selling exclusively to Charles Gallay, a now defunct L.A. boutique that stocked Margiela, Mugler, and Alaïa. In 1999, his line landed in Barneys, and by 2002 he had been recognized by the CFDA with a Perry Ellis Award for Emerging Talent.

The American-born, Paris-based designer Rick Owens is not a one-note goth. On the contrary, he is an avant-garde romantic with a knack for highlighting the beauty of imperfections. It's a talent well suited to his savagely sophisticated rock couture. Owens' asymmetrical dresses; long, clingy T-shirts; and embellished outerwear have been seen on hard/soft types like Courtney Love and Madonna, and the designer's fan club buys up his clothes with a cultlike alacrity.
