"Under Construction" is the brand's first look at the reboot of the beloved Helmut Lang Jeans

Known for refreshing blue jeans and tees in the nineties, <a href="http://helmutlang.com" target="_blank">Helmut Lang</a> is at it again: the brand is bringing back its beloved Helmut Lang Jeans, but this time without a gendered approach. &ldquo;Under Construction,&rdquo; the debut small-run capsule collection emphasizing American denim staples (the drainpipe, straight, and bootcut jeans; the trucker jacket), precedes the global launch of Helmut Lang Jeans later this Fall.

The brand&rsquo;s reboot of their denim run couldn&rsquo;t feel more current: not only is the collection cut for men and women (sizes for each are listed on each piece&rsquo;s tags), but pieces come in vachetta tan leather, custom Japanese selvedge, or Italian denim. The brand also leaves the edges rough and the natural features of the materials untouched, giving a darker, undone feel to the Americana workwear classic.

Each piece takes body types associated with gender and proceeds to distort them: contrast stitching meets puddled hemlines, and high-cut waists emphasize the body&rsquo;s natural curve. Meanwhile, the slightly-cropped trucker jacket tapers the torso into a masculine V-shape.

The brand is no stranger to reinventing the wheel, although lately, they&rsquo;ve been more concerned with harkening back: this denim renaissance comes on the heels of their collaboration with vintage site Byronesque, which <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/helmut-lang-re-edition-byronesque-bondage" target="_blank">reissued nine of the Austrian designer&rsquo;s bondage pieces</a>. More of a remodeling than a reproduction, the new Helmut Lang Jeans is sure to be just as relevant and subversive as its legacy.
