1999 Sample Tank Top Shirt

• Early Rick Owens racerback tank, believed to be a 1999 showroom sample, predating his formal seasonal collections.
• Constructed from an ultra-lightweight, semi-sheer jersey fabric with a soft, smooth drape — distinct from his ribbed rayon/silk tanks.
• Features a racerback silhouette, deep armholes, and an elongated raw curved hem — an early version of the now-iconic “dick flap” cut.
• Finished with interior overlock seams and an olive ribbon tag at the neck, consistent with Rick’s hand-assembled LA production.
• Heavy distressing throughout, including holes, wear, and fraying — potentially from use as a display or fitting sample in Rick’s early showroom.
• A rare and highly collectible piece from Rick’s boutique-era archive, created before his official runway debut.
• No known retail release; likely one-off or limited showroom prototype.
