Rick Owens DRKSHDW for Men

DRKSHDW is Rick Owens working in cotton. Where the mainline deals in leather and drape, this is the washed and treated end of the house: heavy denim, jersey cut long, drop-crotch trousers and the sneakers that made the silhouette recognisable at a distance. The men's range at MARAIS covers clothing and footwear in full, with men rick owens drkshdw clothing holding the denim and jersey.

DRKSHDW: The Cotton Half of Rick Owens

Rick Owens started in Los Angeles in 1994 and moved the house to Paris a decade later, building a body of work around drape, elongation and a restricted colour range. DRKSHDW takes that same drafting into washed cotton and denim. Fabrics are treated hard, seams are placed where they change the line rather than where convention puts them, and the fit is designed to hang rather than to follow the body.

Denim, Jersey and the Cut

The drop-crotch trouser and the elongated tee are the pieces most people meet first, and both sit in men rick owens drkshdw clothing along with the outerwear and heavier knits. Waxed and coated denims turn up each season, as do the pod and Prisoner cuts that keep volume low at the ankle and generous through the thigh.

Sneakers: Jumbolace, Low Sneaks and Vintage Sneaks

Footwear is where DRKSHDW is most collected. Men Rick Owens DRKSHDW Shoes gathers the full run, with dedicated edits for Men's Rick Owens DRKSHDW Jumbolace, the pared-back Men's Rick Owens DRKSHDW Low Sneaks and the canvas-led Men's Rick Owens DRKSHDW Vintage Sneaks. The mainline equivalents are in Men Rick Owens Shoes.

DRKSHDW FAQs

What is the difference between DRKSHDW and mainline Rick Owens?

DRKSHDW is the washed cotton and denim line, priced below the mainline, which centres on leather, silk and technical fabrics. The cutting language is shared.

How does DRKSHDW sizing run?

Most pieces are cut long and loose by design, so your usual size gives the intended proportion. Trousers vary considerably between the pod, Prisoner and Detroit cuts, so check the listed measurements.

Are DRKSHDW sneakers true to size?

They run on Italian sizing and many customers take a half size down, particularly in the Vintage Sneak.
