Helmut Lang resort 2008

[runner]

NEW YORK, June 26, 2007 Michael and Nicole Colovos' first Resort collection for Helmut Lang added a welcome edge to a season often known for its saccharine prettiness. Working in graphic black and white, the designers respected the minimalism that is the house's heritage without being limited by it. Knits, skin-exposing cutouts, and layering added texture to straight, streamlined silhouettes as well as softer, rounded ones. A pair of narrow suits were the show's highlights.

Thanks for posting these, Runner.

Sadly, what I like is the model's hair and the fact that she appears to be walking right out of the wall. B) Clever photographer. Not great clothes, though.

Helmut! Come back, please!!

Oooh I miss my Helmut

Having a very small base of knowledge on Helmut himself (and seeing this on its own, without his shadow), I say this is pretty good...

 

[BerlinRocks]

I really miss Helmut, too...
I think this is not very Helmut Lang FOR 2007, as it really looks like a 1997 Helmut's collection with a (big) touch/influence of/by Hobo style...
But there are two or three items, very Helmut...
Like this soft red/pink dress (look 4 - post # 1)
and the pants are really good, imo...

But i think we cannot judge onto a resort collection... then i cannot wait for the "real" collection...

awww, finally a collection. I quite like it, especially the proportions, and dresses The designers tried to play with clothes as Helmut used to play, I think it's a very delicate version of Lang's ideas... I really really like it !

really nice, though bland, but wearable

 

[mackos]

Helmut

Frankly, I don't really like it. There's undoubtedly something Helmut-esque (the sleekness of the clothes) but I don't know... It misses a ponytail on a stiletto-heeled shoe and a pair of bondage cuffs .

It's nice though, and wearable...

Although I believe it is not that complicated to make something clinical-clean and sleek, but Helmut was unique

(at least no "HL jeans" printed t-shirts - ok I'm unfair, he did it himself. Oh, well he was probably the only one who could be forgiven for having made logoed things, it was still fantastic)

Very beautiful! This is what I love!

His stuff is nice and special, but nothing more. The 2nd last black outfit is a gem though.
