Helmut Lang

[hamburgers]

Helmut Lang is a typical example of a boomer gay lol. I stalked his IG followings today and omfg bro following a lot 🫣😳 contents, some even fetish-ish (polices, boys in uniform, massage,..). Now I can’t see his fashion normally anymore. The fact is that you can clearly see the difference in a boomer compared to his lesser (both in age and talent) like Raf, JW Anderson, Dario Vitale: With a taste for pretentious/performative gay.

I mean he's Austrian and had Robert Mapplethorpe ads and numerous BDSM references in his collections is it really surprising?

Not really sure what you're getting at here with the JW and Vitale comparison because if there are any millenial creative directors who are very queer and pervy in their work it's those two...
