Rick Owens fashion
Изначально под собственной маркой Рик Оуэнс выпускал только женские линии одежды.
Однако когда дизайнер сменил место жительства (Лос-Анджелес на Париж) к нему пришла идея создания модной коллекции для сильной половины человечества, что и было предпринято в 2003 году.
This means "Men", but can anyone think of the male equivalent of "the fairer sex"?
