AW20 Rick Owens ‘Banana Cut’ Black Flared Bolan Denim

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 in the Autumn of 2020, this pair of jeans are known as the so-called ‘Bolan Banana’ bottoms. Fit with zippers that run from the underside to the front hem, when unzipped, an interior layer of fabric is revealed, allowing for an adjustable flared silhouette. Bellowing outwards with a massive stack, metallic hardware finishes the piece effortlessly, fitting a size 33x38 in great condition throughout.
