How did Rick Owens get famous?

How did Rick Owens get famous?
The story of how Rick Owens got famous begins with a single photo shoot. In 2001, Corinne Day photographed supermodel Kate Moss clad in a Rick Owens leather jacket. After the image appeared in Vogue Paris, Owens was thrust into the spotlight, and soon he had received enough funding to put together his first runway show. The American designer's distressed leather motorcycle jackets continue to be among his most coveted designs today. Shop a selection of Rick Owens apparel and accessories on 1stDibs.
