What immediately caught my eye upon seeing the images of Helmut Lang’s Pre-Fall collection was model Katlin Aas’ multiple piercings that the designers let her keep in for the shots—along with her tattoo, which nicely complements the navy pieces in the mostly black and white line. With multiple catwalkers (such as Daiane Conterato) getting their cartilage pierced—and others putting their own stamp on things—the army of monotonous fashion robots that used to rule the runways seems to be steadily dissolving.
