Helmut Lang re-editions are here

Fashion people love to bandy about words like ‘timeless’. But here’s the proof with Helmut Lang. The brand has reissued a few pieces from its archive, including elbow cut-out sweaters, a zip denim jacket, the painter jeans and the silver Astro Moto jacket. In case you missed it, Helmut Lang has adapted its business structure, hiring an ‘editor’ instead of a single head designer, and planning to offer up regular reissues from the archive to highlight its heritage.

Read this: Know your style by Alyson Walsh

Know Your Style Alyson Walsh

If you know Alyson Walsh and her blog That’s Not My Age, you may know her book, Style Forever which came out in 2015.
