Champion and Rick Owens Collaborate for 2024 Summer Series
Renowned fashion designer Rick Owens has once again teamed up with sportswear brand Champion to unveil the latest summer series for 2024, focusing on pragmatism and style.
Combining Owens’ unique aesthetic with Champion’s classic sportswear, the collection features a color palette of black, white, and silver, along with tulle, capes, and the iconic five-pointed star motif. Owens explained that the five-pointed star represents the fight against moral prejudice and intolerance, a cause that is close to his heart.
In a recent Instagram post, Owens reflected on his early days as a designer in the 90s, recalling how his own logo was inspired by both the Champion logo and the Jean Patou perfume label. He spoke about the influence of retro design and black and white movies from the 1930s on his aesthetic, merging American straightforwardness with European charm. Owens also reminisced about his cousins wearing Champion sweatshirts and shorts, a memory that shaped his creative vision.
The Champion x Rick Owens collection is now available for purchase on the official Rick Owens website, offering fans the opportunity to embrace the fusion of high fashion and sportswear in the latest collaboration.
