Rick Owens started his own label in 1994, but it wasn't until 2002 that he garnered worldwide recognition. This turning point came when supermodel Kate Moss was photographed for Vogue Paris wearing a Rick Owens leather jacket. The same year, Vogue magazine sponsored his first runway show held at New York Fashion Week. Owens quickly rose to stardom and soon he became a well known fashion designer, mostly because of his unique use of fabrics, unusual silhouettes, and innovative fashion vision.
