the return of the bootleg, via rebecca dannenberg

If you’re a New York girl of a certain age, you remember Red Tape and the perfect-fitting bootlegs Rebecca Dannenberg made under that name. All those Red Tape pants have pretty much been worn to shreds by now, but lucky for Dannenberg’s fans, the designer is back—and just in time for the return of the boot-cut after all those seasons of drainpipe legs. “I never stopped working,” explains Dannenberg, who is now heading up the design team at new denim label WORK. “But it’s exciting to be at a brand where I can really put my stamp on things again.” Based in Los Angeles, WORK debuts for spring with a collection of labor-inspired jeans and cords that reveal the Dannenberg eye for flattering detail—to wit, just-so washes and pocket placement, seams curved subtly on wide-leg cuts to keep the leg opening from looking howlingly large, and, of course, bootlegs that exactingly split the cut difference between straight leg and flare.
