Product Insights
This Rick Owens cami is a sheer, 100% cashmere rib-knit reworking of his classic racerback tank, cut in a long, slim, hip-length silhouette that stretches crosswise with almost no vertical give, so the rounded raw hem stays put while the fabric hugs the torso. Crafted in Italy with mill-level sorting and spinning, the rib construction provides edge stability and snap-back recovery without elastane, but its transparency increases with the slim fit—worn bare it reads sheer, so full coverage requires a layer underneath. The raised texture snags on jewelry and short-staple cashmere pills readily, making the care routine integral to the garment's look, while the black, gender-neutral design carries the label's dark, sculptural, postmodern-glamour language into a deliberately delicate form.
Verified claims
- Sizing
- With only LARGE offered, shoulder-to-hem length — not chest width — is what decides the fit.
- Fit
- Long slim fit hugs the torso; the all-cashmere rib stretches sideways with almost no vertical give.
- Sheerness
- Transparency rises as the slim fit pulls the rib; worn bare it reads sheer — full coverage requires a layer underneath.
- Knit construction
- 100% cashmere rib, no elastane, stretches 50-100% crosswise and snaps back.
- Edge stability
- Rib structure keeps cut edges flat and resists laddering and runs.
- Vertical give
- Stretch runs across the torso, keeping the hip-length drop from riding up.
- Back design
- Center seam is the knit's only stiff vertical line, holding the slight racerback body straight
- Design lineage
- Cashmere re-make of Owens' existing ribbed racerback tank, previously in 88% viscose/12% silk
- Durability
- Raised rib texture snags on rings and nails, and short-staple cashmere pills more readily than smooth synthetics.
- Craftsmanship
- Made in Italy means mill craft in sorting, ring spinning and finishing — not local fiber, since raw cashmere is typically Asian-sourced.
- Design philosophy
- Cami belongs to the label's dark sculptural idiom, rooted in postmodern architecture and glam rock.
- Gender-neutral design
- The black ribbed racerback silhouette carries Owens' gender-neutral, sculptural design language and can be worn beyond a strict binary.
- Care
- Hand-wash in cool water with a gentle wool/cashmere detergent and lay flat to dry without wringing; dry cleaning is acceptable, but hand washing and flat drying best preserve the delicate rib knit's shape.
- Hip-length drop
- Elongated to hip length and designed to hang below the waist as a drape layer rather than ending at the natural waist.
- Coverage at length
- Sheer knit reaches the hip; wear a tank or tee underneath when full coverage is wanted.
- Knit gauge
- The cami is a fine cashmere knit, not a chunky sweater knit, so the rib is open enough to be sheer.
- Neckline
- The cami has a crew neck, and the rib construction keeps the neckline flat without visible edge binding.
- Racerback opening
- The racerback is deliberately slight: thin shoulder straps flow toward the spine instead of cutting a deep, sport-style opening, keeping the shoulder blades covered while the upper back releases cleanly.
- Layering role
- The cami reads as a sheer layered top rather than a fully opaque standalone shirt; it is meant to go over a tee or long-sleeve, or under an open shirt, for a textural layered look.
