There Was Then Before Now

Before Alexander Wang, there was Helmut Lang. And they do exist, still. With their architecturally clean cuts, seam details, and fanciful edgy draping they still know how to present a collection. (See above for latest collection from NY Fashion Week) For the modern and the bored, try Helmut Lang for a twist on classics. Leave it to Helmut Lang to stay safe on color choices by always sticking to the neutrals, another signature trait of Alexander Wang’s collections. I was actually taught how to draw by a former Helmut Lang accessories (or was it shoes?) designer while I was studying at FIDM. This is also probably another reason why I am quite fond of the brand.
