The Mel Jean is a unisex style inspired by 80s Levi's 505 jeans, featuring a zip fly and straight leg shape. On women, this silhouette fits high rise and slim, while on men, they hit lower on the waist and have a relaxed straight leg. Designed exclusively for RE/DONE by Mel Ottenberg.

Mel Ottenberg, the man behind many of pop culture's most iconic moments, is a renowned stylist and the editor-in-chief of Interview Magazine. With over two decades of industry experience including styling campaigns for Gucci, Calvin Klein, and Dior, Mel's influence has shaped the direction of American fashion through his unique ability to provoke conversation. Despite creating dramatic, emotional moments for clients such as Rihanna, Bjork, Lana Del Rey, Chloe Sevigny, and Cardi B, his personal style leans simplistic, 80s, and Americana-inspired. With Mel's penchant for denim and background styling the world's most iconic women, it made sense for this capsule to be completely unisex—something he would wear himself and dress others in.
