Helmut Lang is hands down one of my favorite designers ever, and this Pre-Fall season is no exception. His lines always encapsulate everything I wanted to be: edgy, androgynous, street-chic. The kind of girl you don’t want to mess with, but looks too cool not to talk to. His designs this season feature a lot of the same elements we have seen in the past, because really Helmut Lang wouldn’t be Helmut Lang without a strong dose of leather.
However, flipping through this pictures this season the line features a nice amount of beautiful draping, which gives a nice softness to the otherwise structured collection. Also, the colors, ranging from a wonderful soft gray to a warm semi-terra cotta brown, are a really great palette to transition between winter and spring. Really, these clothes speak so well for themselves they need very little accessorizing; that would be a kin to telling Picasso he needed a little glitter…sure to get you nothing but tossed in an asylum. My favorite part about the designs? Whether present or past collections, the story line stays close enough to the heart that they can be mixed and matched seamlessly.
