This racerback tank predates his formal seasonal runway debut. It features the original olive ribbon tag, a signature of his 1990s boutique-era production. Constructed from an ultra-lightweight, semi-sheer jersey, the garment showcases the experimental beginnings of the "dick flap" silhouette, likely serving as a showroom fitting sample or a limited one-off prototype. With its hand-assembled feel and internal overlock seams, this is a raw look at the origin of the Rick Owens aesthetic before the transition to Italian manufacturing.
