ALONG WITH HIS MAINLINE COLLECTION RICK OWENS DEVELOPED A DIFFUSION LINE UNDER THE “SLAB“ MONIKER. ITS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH HIS FW2001 SEASON ALSO LABELED “SLAB“. HIS DIFFUSION LINE RAN ONE YEAR FROM SS04 TO AW04 & WAS PRODUCED IN MULTIPLE COUNTRIES SUCH AS THE U.S.A. AND PORTUGAL BEFORE EVOLVING INTO “DRKSHDW“ BY JOINING MANUFACTURER OLMAR & MIRTA TO PRODUCE HIS NEW AVANT-GARDE ATHLEISURE-WEAR LINE IN 2005. AS FAR AS EVERYONE IS CONCERNED IT IS THE SAME DESIGNER, DIFFERENT DIFFUSION LINE. THESE CORDUROY JEANS COME IN AN DULL ACID YELLOW COLOURWAY WITH A SLIGHTLY TAPERED KNEE AND COME WITH RAW HEMS FOR AN ADDED GRUNGE LOOK. A VERY BEAUTIFUL SILHOUETTE INDEED.

Owens does not represent a brand but a far-reaching lifestyle that speaks to his fanbase's unwavering loyalty. Between unstructured sartorial garbs, perturbing sculptural furniture, and some of the most bewildering footwear on the market—it is no wonder why "The Lord of Darkness" is so highly revered. Many see his sense in fashion as “glamour meeting grunge” which Owens rejects.

Born Richard Saturnino Owens, the young designer dropped out of the Otis College of Art and Design to pursue pattern-making and draping courses at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College. During his studies, Owens began cutting patterns that illegally knocked-off designer clothing. This tongue-in-cheek attitude would become a fixture of Owens' brand ethos. In 1994, Owens unveiled his inaugural clothing label selling exclusively to Charles Gallay, the L.A's trailblazing avant-garde boutique operator.

Several years into his design career, Owens met Michelle Lamy through his then-boyfriend, Rick Castro. He worked as a pattern-maker for Lamy starting in 1990, only working for a couple of years before the two began an affair. Together, the tumultuous duo lived a "rock n' roll" lifestyle characterized by the prolific use of drugs and alcohol.

Throughout the mid-90s, Owens produced one-off pieces from recycled leather and salvaged materials from army surplus stores. In 2001, French Vogue published a photo of Kate Moss wearing a signature leather jacket from his Fall/Winter 2001 collection, and one year later, Anna Wintour and Vogue sponsored Owens' first runway show in Spring/Summer 2002.
