Excellent pair of the notable Rubber Tape Application Denim from 2003.
The classic cut features a streamlined and sophisticed silhouette that is disrupted with the asymmetric application of the rubber tape. This juxtaposition creates a feeling of both the chaotic and beautiful, it is a garment that shifts the perception of the simple. Being one of his seminal years in fashion, 2003 proved to be a year of experimentation for the designer. Lang looked to change the idea denim, a material that was known for being accessible and common. He wanted to elevate the familiar and present it as a high-end and runway applicable product. In this occurrence the designer looked to marry the material with the industrial and rigid feeling of rubber. It is a representation of ideas that Helmut was entertaining throughout his career. A wonderful piece to wear and see.
