If any item can transcend generations and hold its ground in fashion, jeans are near the top of the list. Created in 1925 to meet the rodeo’s demand for durability and practicality, Lee 101 gradually moved from workwear to the streets, becoming an indispensable classic in everyday style.

Coinciding with the 101st anniversary of Lee 101 this year, the brand takes “101 Years of Lee 101” as its theme, looking back at the line’s classic designs and denim craftsmanship while exploring how to integrate this century-old heritage into modern life. Rather than simply reproducing the past, the focus is on letting these classics continue to show new possibilities as wearing habits shift across generations. Whether you prefer vintage Americana, sleek city looks, or the relaxed, gender-neutral styles popular lately, denim always finds its place.

One of the highlights worth noting in the Fall/Winter 2026 collection is Lee 101’s first-ever denim line designed exclusively for modern women. Continuing the brand’s emphasis on fabrics, craftsmanship, and cuts, it brings the classic denim spirit into women’s fashion, opening a brand-new chapter for Lee 101.

Lately, jeans are no longer limited to a single silhouette. From relaxed denim trousers and vintage-inspired straight-leg cuts to denim jackets and matching sets, they have all become items worth styling on repeat in a Fall/Winter wardrobe. With Lee 101 turning its attention to women this time, it’s exciting to see how the brand’s classic denim designs will present an attitude toward dressing that fits perfectly into contemporary life.

In addition, Asia-Pacific brand ambassador, Chinese actor Zhang Linghe, models the new Lee 101 Fall/Winter pieces. He presents the diverse facets of classic denim through different looks, injecting fresh energy into the century-old line.

Alongside the new women’s line, Lee’s collaboration with designer Feng Chen Wang is another major focus this Fall/Winter! Building on their first joint release in Spring/Summer 2026, the two have teamed up again for a second season. This time, the design focuses on Lee’s most iconic workwear pieces, reinterpreting the classics through a contemporary lens. The collection spotlights the legendary 91B jacket and classic carpenter pants as its main characters, incorporating Lee’s signature Jelt Denim and Hickory Stripes to add a sharper design vocabulary to familiar workwear shapes. The practicality and durability traditionally emphasized in workwear are transformed into a highly personal fashion statement in this collaboration.
