THIS ITEM IS PART OF THE RICK OWENS COLLABORATION WITH NEW YORK PUNK DUO SUICIDEBANDOFFICIAL AND FEATURES A SIGNATURE LABEL ON THE INTERIOR.

THE BAND PIONEERED THE USE OF MINIMALIST ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENTATION DURING THE 1970S. THE RAW, DISTURBING SOUND AND THREATENING, CHAOTIC LIVE SHOWS OF VOCALIST ALAN VEGA AND MUSICIAN MARTIN REV WERE MET WITH HOSTILITY EARLY ON — THEY WERE CONSIDERED OUTSIDERS AMONG THEIR CONTEMPORARIES AND LARGELY VILIFIED, BUT THEIR INFLUENCE HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANT IN THE DECADES SINCE. I USED THEIR SONG CHEREE FOR ONE OF MY FIRST RUNWAY SHOWS AND NOW I HAVE DEVELOPED A CAPSULE COLLECTION WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE BAND, REFERENCING THEIR DESTROYED, DECONSTRUCTED LEATHERS, TAILORED JKTS, AND ATHLETIC TRACK TOPS.
