-SPECIAL- “Rick Owens” 2000’s Open weave shawl cardigan

Since its founding in 1997, Rick Owens has forged a distinctive position in luxury fashion by blending architectural pattern work with a decadent aesthetic, and we are pleased to present a standout piece that vividly reflects the brand's worldview.

This piece, with a delicate sheer open-gauge knitting, carries a light, airy feel despite its black color.

It has a distinctive presence that cannot be contained within the ordinary cardigan framework, and the shawl collar, naturally flowing from the deeply opened front, creates soft shadows at the neck, forming a beautiful drape that envelops the body when worn. Furthermore, the fine vertical knit texture throughout emphasizes a visual vertical line, and even with lightweight fabric it yields a sharp, refined impression.

Notably, the fusion of this translucent knit structure with a silhouette reminiscent of a tailored jacket is worth noting. The cuffs feature button detailing that recalls a classic jacket, allowing the usually opposing relaxed feel and formal elements to coexist gracefully. Therefore, it is not merely an outer garment but a piece that embodies Rick Owens’s decadent elegance.

The signature logo embroidered directly on the interior back is also highly striking, evoking a mood different from later mass-produced name tags. While the available physical evidence does not allow precise season identification, these features and materials strongly reflect Rick Owens’s ongoing exploration since the 2000s of blurring the boundary between body and clothing.

Moreover, the value of this item lies not only in its design but also in how it completes with the wearer's body. Even when hanging on a hanger, it shows rich drape, but once worn, the fabric flows from shoulder to hem more three-dimensionally, creating a presence that conveys a unique movement even at rest. It embodies a body expression that cannot be experienced with mass-produced knitwear, a hallmark of Rick Owens.

If you want to incorporate it into daily wear, it is a piece that should not stand out on its own but quietly blend into the outfit. Even without excessive embellishment, it exudes a remarkable presence, so we especially recommend it to those who wish to express individuality through material and silhouette.

Styling-wise, pairing it with fluid wide-leg trousers and a long shirt lets you enjoy Rick Owens’s signature fluid silhouette, while adding a leather bag and minimalist accessories elevates the look to one where decadence and refinement coexist. Additionally, layering it as an inner piece under a long coat creates a translucent layering that provides a contrast with a heavy outer garment, which is very appealing.

Please take this opportunity.
