Shayne Oliver’s boundary-pushing designs don’t exactly conjure up the same wholesome image that Chance the Rapper does. Lest we forget, Oliver’s recent fetish wear-inspired collection for Helmut Lang featured BDSM gear and leather codpieces. Chance the Rapper, on the other hand, has been busy releasing videos that feature literal Muppets. You’d be surprised to hear then that the creative minds share some common ground: Yesterday the rapper wore a Helmut Lang jacket on The Tonight Show.

Speaking with Jimmy Fallon about how he wishes he could hang out with Drake more in advance of his first time hosting Saturday Night Live, Chance wore a Sherpa-lined 87 denim jacket from Helmut Lang Men’s Resort 2018 Collection, which he paired with a simple white T-shirt, light black jeans, and a red and black cap. So while Chance the Rapper’s casual aesthetic and Shayne Oliver’s kinky Helmut Lang designs are certainly an unexpected pairing, Chance certainly pulls off Oliver’s more tame creations surprisingly well.
