Chrome Hearts × Rick Owens

Chrome Hearts](https://www.grailed.com/designers/chrome-hearts) founders Laurie Lynn and Richard Stark have been close with iconic American designer Rick Owens since their early days in Los Angeles. The Starks, who have since built Chrome Hearts into an international luxury jewelry and goods empire, met legendary designer of the avant garde Rick Owens through his wife Michèle Lamy when the designer was just embarking on his fashion career. The Chrome Hearts Rick Owens collab has been decades in the making, formulated over shared dinners and travel plans. Many highly coveted Rick Owens Chrome Hearts pieces, such as Rick Owens coats and outerwear which feature custom Chrome Hearts zippers and pull tabs, came about naturally when Rick Owens brought over his designs to the Stark family studio. While many custom pieces are only available to close friends of both houses, admirers seeking Rick Owens x Chrome Hearts collaborations can turn to the highly publicized Chrome Hearts Geobaskets. Like the name evokes, Rick Owens’ legendary futuristic Geobasket sneaker style is updated with Chrome Heart’s signature silver hardware. The Rick Owens Chrome Hearts Geobasket styles feature luxe Chrome Hearts designs on the zipper, shoe tongue and back padding. Custom Chrome Heart laces with silver-ended lace locks finish off the look. Those seeking even more bespoke sneakers customized by the Chrome Hearts team can turn to limited edition hand-painted Chrome Hearts Dunks.
