Bergdorf Goodman will unveil an exclusive edit of Rick Owens‘ fall 2025 collection, which is now available in its women’s and its men’s stores.
The exclusive styles were hand-selected by Rick Owens and Yumi Shin, chief merchandising officer at Bergdorf’s. The windows of both stores feature LED screens that capture the ethereal strands of smoke that are regularly seen at Rick Owens runway shows.
The collection will be showcased through an installation in the women’s store and a pop-up shop in the men’s store. To celebrate the collaboration, Bergdorf’s will host an intimate cocktail reception with Owens this month.

“We’re excited to celebrate Rick Owens, an independent designer that has redefined modern luxury with his ability to merge countercultural codes with uncompromising craftsmanship,” said Shin. “At Bergdorf Goodman, we’re known to offer customers exclusive access to the most sought-after items season over season, and we’re delighted to offer these one-of-a-kind styles in this exclusive experience.”
Owens said: “I am delighted to be presenting this specific collection at Bergdorf Goodman. I was thinking of a glamorous urban 1930s elegance that Bergdorf’s always represented to me….This collection consists of washed cashmere coats wrapped at the throat and glove leather, down-filled jackets…glove leather gowns are in laser-cut and handwoven leather, and the collection is displayed in vitrines constructed to recall the magic of Earthworks by Michael Heizer and Robert Smithson.”
Owens, an American designer based in Paris since 2003, is drawn to pre-gentrified Hollywood and Los Angeles’ punk underground scene in the 1980s. He launched his eponymous line in 1994, blending his love of black-and-white Art Deco movies, and his art school heroes like Joseph Beuys and Heizer.
Owens received the CFDA’s Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award in 2017. An exhibition of his life’s work is currently on view at the Palais Galliera in Paris.
In a WWD interview surrounding the exhibition last June, Owens, the artistic director of the exhibition, said: “I get the impression that a lot of people consider me all transgression all the time and that’s fine, because those people are not going to really like me anyway. But if I were just all transgression all the time, I wouldn’t have lasted this long. There has to be a certain amount of quality and sophistication for people to be able to trust in or believe. And I feel like I’ve given enough of that.”
