Helmut Lang S/S 2004 - Paris

I thought Lang did a good job this season.

First, the sport-mix was clearly right for the moment, as it is becoming emerging trend. Secondly, the clever detail of the jackets connected to a skirt was great innovation.

But I'm not really into those deconstructed tank tops, they look so dated , as it was clearly used in recent collections and most recently by Rick Owens last season.

Overall, great pieces. Very innovative and edgy.

 

And by Helmut seasons and seasons before that.

I think it's beyootiful. [/b][/quote]
I guess it's just my opinion.

To each their own.

Thanks for the photos, again, Astrid!

 

oh my!

i this collection.

the whole collection is marvelous... not just a few pieces!

the colors are perfectly done and in the perfect proportions!!!!!

helmut is a master at this look...

 

i love the green skirts!! all of it , excellent!

its calling me in the night!!! help

 

wow I must say helmut did do a good job this season !


I love thous skirts that are like made out of tops i guess

The plastic/garbage bag pieces are great, soem of them seem very Watanabe s/s 2001 though.

For all his rempitsion and hype he is really talented designer

 

GOSH! That's just beautiful. I like it all. These colors are so vibrant, and something...they are used, I think, in just the perfect places. they are not too much nor little, and where they are, they have such a great energy in them!!

 

It's beautiful!!!!!

 

Helmut Lang, in perfect form, his real comeback in PFW.
Ultra modern lines -idealy balancing Milano's FS sweetness- great styling and ... his amazing use of colours. Don't ask me how, but i know HL has a security block using colours/prints, so when it happens it's extremely well studied, he's much better in this than he thinks.

finally, helmut is one of the less hyped designers around.
He's much talented and a real hard worker.
I've seen him choosing fabrics in P.V. in Paris and i can say,
this one was really working.
Clever manager and shareholder of his Prada Group label,
he always did the right business moves.

Actually I find him quite underestimated for what he really is.
He's much better from N.G. of baleciaga, to quote a name.

Thanks for breaking the good news astid

 

I took the slideshow at Style and I loved the mesnwear, too, which were the same ones showed in June.

I can't believe not just Rei had a same idea as mine (the study on skirts), but Helmut too. The idea of making the tank a dress was an idea of mine, years ago. But he did it entirely diferent as I would do, so it's okay. But then again they would say it was him who the concept originated from.

 

I knew I could count on you, Trean. [/b][/quote]
