00s Rick Owens ‘Exploder’ Sling Split Hood Dust Trench Coat

Rick Owens is one of few American born designers shaping contemporary arts through a distorted, blossoming lens. Based in Paris, Owens is primarily known for his black-centric style, brutalist mentality and of course, menswear fashion design. Head of his paragon namesake, many hail the designer for his avant-garde mentality and disregard for the socially acceptable. Rick Owens is a paramount in footwear design and fuels the urge to question; “Why?” atop the runway. He refuses to backdown from a stylistic approach, leading the masses through a shift in couture at the grips of his will. Owens will go down as a pioneer in a miscellany of niches and yet persists without intent to slow. He flourishes in a unique, intriguing way - tempting those around him to simply open their minds to the unknown.

 

Debuting sometime in the early 2000s, this relic of Rick Owens’ design portfolio is an extremely rare oddity. Sporting a unique wash tag unlike nearly any item we’ve seen, this item is rumoured to be an unconfirmed production sample. Fit with a split zippered hood, the trench is complete with an ash wash, concealed sleeve pockets and interior sling strap. Tagged as a size medium, in pristine condition throughout.
