Fashion designer Rick Owens has launched his second collaboration with footwear firm Birkenstock, with pop-ups expected in Hong Kong and Shanghai. The Rick Owens x Birkenstock collection debuted exclusively at Le Bon Marche in Paris, and will not be available online until February 8. The pop-ups in Hong Kong and Shanghai are scheduled for January 23 and 25.
“The brief for the set design was Mayan pyramids”, said Owens.
All the various styles of the collection, including sandals featuring metallic foil and leather, are on display at the pop-up on blocks of raw black cork.
