Helmut Lang is a name synonymous with modernism; crafting feel-good clothes with a utilitarian edge that empower the wearer. Under its eponymous founder, from the 80s until 2005, the brand also built a cult following in the art world. Today Helmut Lang's trailblazing label stands as a directional sportswear collection imagined by Michael and Nicole Colovos.

Before Helmut Lang, husband and wife team Michael and Nicole Colovos founded Los Angeles based denim brand Habitual to much acclaim. The recipients of the first Annual CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award for emerging designers, Nicole has a background as fashion editor at Harper's Bazaar and Michael worked for Guy Laroche in Paris before launching womenswear line, Colovos.

The Colovos' have crafted Hollywood's go-to everyday wardrobe, a collection of modern jersey, denim, leathers and relaxed shapes that can be mixed and matched with ease.

"We have a very similar aesthetic but from different viewpoints. I'm really into the construction of a design while she's more concerned about what it looks like on her body. Putting those two elements together is what makes us work so well together."
Michael Colovos.
