Rick Owens continues to design for his PERFORMA Denim Collection for the Fall/Winter 2020 season. This time around, the capsule is exclusive to Self Edge only. The capsule draws inspiration from the shapes of workwear and all of the pieces are made in Japan.

There are denim staples that make up the capsule including the slimly tapered overdyed 'Duke,' the straight-legged 'Detroit' the 13.75oz Type III denim jacket, the Worker jacket, and the heavy-duty Outershirt. All of these are set to join the latest capsule and complete with a black wax coat for a unique finish. It also features a 'DARK DUST' construction. Additional details include the thick cowhide patches and the squared structured pockets.
