    Yes of course, in a pre-Dior Homme/Simons era.

    So, could we say this is a "slim" silhouette, considering the standards at this time?

      I wouldn't call his tailoring slim fitting, but body conscious. Although some t-shirts are indeed very slim.

        I would, yes.

              Hahaha, imagine the complete diametric opposition between the Helmut's shoes that currently clack down that house's hallways versus the Jerry's squeaking ones that might have.

                Great article, thanks Dane.

                My HL confession:
                I've been having these strange thoughts... Especially on moments of transition, like being on the bus to school or right before falling asleep.

                What would Helmut's collections look like if he still designed?

                And at some point I can almost 'feel' it, but as soon as I try to visualize the men and women walking down the runway it's gone.

                  I can't picture it at all...all I can picture is him and Seinfeld skipping down the hall now.

                    Check out these boots from his final collection. I'm telling you, the man was up to something...

                      Uhm what?
                      You know none of the HL stuff 05 fwd is even worth discussing right? We are talking about Helmut Lang the man, not the brand.

                        So you think Margiela and Yohji suck, but faux HL rules. Even for me that's too much.

                                ^ that's actually from SS2001. i must add that the lacerated leather trunks peeking out from the pants is quite an interesting look to commit to. the perforations come in triangles and circles too.
