“Rick Owens is simply impossible to pigeonhole. It’s hardly surprising, then, that the iconic US fashion designer is the first independent designer to produce a limited-edition collection for BIRKENSTOCK. In keeping with Owens’ uncompromising post-apocalyptic design aesthetic, he chose four different materials to give the footwear company’s classic Arizona, Boston and Madrid styles a ‘subtle touch of theatricality’. Eschewing overloaded, frivolous embellishments, he chose instead to push the envelope of the design itself, noting that. ‘The functional design that’s already there can’t be improved on’. Instead, Owens extended the straps and holes of the sandals to allow them to break free from their conventional function.”
