Helmut Lang 'Under Construction'

September 07, 2018

For her first role as Helmut Lang's newest Editor-in-Residence, V Magazine founder and former W features director Alix Browne has taken us back to basics. The brand, whose previous Editor-in-Residence was Dazed's Isabella Burley, has launched an all new denim collection that pays homage to its minimalist roots, proving, yet again, that less truly is more—especially when it comes to denim. Dropping this October, ‘Under Construction’ reimagines classic jean styles, like the straight-leg and the bootcut, into deconstructed versions of their original form.

And with all the looks embracing the natural flaws of their material, these closet staples celebrate the perfectly imperfect aspects of the world’s most iconic fabric. Like the name of the capsule suggests, Helmut Lang’s ‘Under Construction’ will be the perfect kind of understated demin-ware that seamlessly enhances any look.

Enfants Riches Déprimés: Défilé

March 11, 2026

A secret clergy speaks. Gunshots ring out. Order is understood instantly through its somber command.

The Enfants Riches Déprimés Automne/Hiver 2026 collection spectrifies the silhouettes of propaganda - subjectivity made ambiguous enough to fracture the certainty of history. The show unfolds in a French courtyard, the purity of snow trampled, rectangular seating oriented toward a bronzed figure of a highly decorated official - impaled in his back. At its base: a pallid female form, positioned as though picked up, dropped, picked up, then dropped again, chained in devotion, despite the atrocities associated with his regime. Russian mink, sterling silver evening clutches, custom striping and architectural wool frames. Henri Alexander Levy rearranges history increasing in physical density, visual severity, and perceptual impact. Neckties cinch the throat - each visual asymmetry meticulously designed. Sleeve linings expose their interior construction. Garments express their function as cultural tourniquet - cinched, buckled, strapped, buttoned with clerical precision.

The tailoring commands passively, architecturally in its cold departure. There is grief present in the womenswear, though these figures may be its courier rather than its recipient.

Historical messaging arrives at angles that asphyxiate.

Kartlis Deda: Lettonne's NYC Debut

March 07, 2026

Kartlis Deda, also known as the Mother of Georgia, served as the overarching muse for LETTONNE’S first-ever runway show. The monument shows a woman carrying a glass of wine in one hand while dawning a sword in the other. The friction between these two forces serves as a symbol of the dichotomy of women. Garments have the power to protect, conceal, and strengthen. They can be symbols of femininity or defiance. Blending these contradicting forces together, the collection showcases the ways in which they can balance.

LETTONNE is a brand founded in New York City and born out of some of the most crucial elements of club culture. Freedom of expression, a tight-knit sense of community, and a driving curiosity for what’s to come have all infiltrated the designs gracing the runway. Leaning into these fixtures, the designers utilize harsh materials and the feminine form to experiment and remix into a contemporary and fashion-forward context.
