Unapologetically unfiltered, Rick Owens is fashion's ultimate antagonist

Paris-based designer Rick Owens has been called many things in his long career. An antihero, a goth, fashion's "prince of darkness." He's been labeled as such because of his proclivity for a largely noir, gray and ice-hued oeuvre, his deployment of pentagram motifs on underwear or elk antlers on furniture, and an overall aesthetic that is -- and he'd agree with this -- rapturously anti-establishment.
