Has Helmut Lang discontinued men's entirely?

I know there is no s/s 10 men's collection from Helmut Lang, but I've heard conflicting stories on whether it's coming back at all. Anyone know for sure? A while back a guy at their LA store said it was just going away for one season, so they could focus on women's, while another guy I was talking to told me the collection was gone for good. Anyone else heard anything/know for sure? I could live w/o most of the collection, but think it would be a shame for their denim to go away. Definitely some of my favorite.

That was my opinion of most of the line: virtually identical to Theory but with more awkward cuts and higher prices. The jeans are what I'd miss, I saw a substantial difference between the two there, and would consider the HL jeans almost on par with recent Rag & Bones in terms of denim and construction.

And during sale season they were unbeatable. Between the last sale at the store and the recent Gilt sale I ended up with four pairs, raw straight, raw relaxed, black raw straight and medium washed straight, each for $78-98. No real reason to buy the rest of the stuff, even on sale.

Materials and construction just really aren't there, especially at their prices. I, personally, found a lot of the fits somewhat awkward on pants and blazers. While their aesthetic isn't quite a Theory clone, their materials feel and look very similar. There are so many brands out there with great $300 pants, $200 shirts and $600 jackets and theirs really weren't up to snuff. That said, as I've said many, many times, I'd take their denim over most comparably priced ($250-275) jeans any day because of fit, denim and construction quality and color.
