Elbow Wing Jackets

Rick Owens Leather V-Front Crop Jacket for Fall 2009

Rick Owens’ elbow wing leather jacket is hotter than hot. A v-shaped, cropped front opens with an angled zipper and a funnel collar flap which can be closed or left hanging partially open.

The highlight of the jacket, of course, are Rick Owens’ rocking elbow wings! I’m sure they have no function other than to add an ultra-cool, edgy, goth, wind-blown awesomeness to the jacket.

Available in three faintly two-toned shade combinations, the gorgeous jacket is priced at €1,332.50 at Luisaviaroma.
