Gems Studio was originally approached in 2002 to create a custom sculpted wax figure of the American fashion designer Rick Owens for installation at a catwalk presentation in Paris. The bespoke figure was later used to furnish the designer’s Palais Royal store in Paris.

After the initial sculpt was completed, both figure and head were produced in tinted wax with each hair inserted individually to produce the most natural hairline achievable. The eyes were custom made to reproduce a perfect colour match. The paint for the face was meticulously matched and blended to numerous images of the designer to ensure that the finished piece was as natural to his colouration as possible.

Rick Owens was thrilled with the mannequin and subsequently contacted Gems Studio again in 2008 to produce a wax head likeness as part of the display at his newly opened London store on South Audley Street, Mayfair.
