In recent years the fashion industry has seen a whole host of refreshing designers hit the scene - from Rick Owen to Vetements and Helmut Lang.

Many fashion fans keep a close eye on the brands as they continue to surprise us with their out-of-the-box catwalk shows and campaigns.

The Austrian fashion house has just launched a new campaign featuring two rather recognisable faces - Kanye West and Solange.

The famous musicians joined other members of the fashion and music industry for the special photo project titled "Helmut Lang Fans" - created to "capture cross-generational Helmut Lang collectors and fans".

And unexpectedly in the process proved that Kanye does in fact wear brands other than his own, Yeezy.

The rapper does have a well-documented love of Lang - his own Yeezy collections often holding a similar minimal and oversized aesthetic to those designed by Shane Oliver .

Meanwhile, Solange who dons a transparent pair of trendy plastic shorts in the snap proves her devotion to the brand by stating, "I’ve been a Helmut fan since high school."

She adds, "I’ve really appreciated the evolution of Helmut Lang under Shayne's direction and feel it really captures the tenor of the legacy in a really energized way".
