Helmut Lang Nylon Jeans Here is another example of Helmuts unique use of fabric on everyday staple pieces. In my opinion, the use of nylon on a pair of pants similar to Levi’s 501’s seems to give them a workwear style. They feel much more utilitarian than regular cotton jeans. The threads broke on the back pocket and crotch area but have been resewn. They are a very deep navy, which is difficult to capture in camera.
