I would've sold the archive and used the money to hire Jenny Holzer to make a projection saying "HELMUT LANG IS GONE, STOP BUYING FAKE SHIT"
I don't really know what to think of this."AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION. NOW NOW this is it people, these are the brands no one fucking knows and people are like WTF. they do everything by hand in their freaking secret basement and shit."

A preview!
'The materials and fabrics Helmut Lang used to give temporary definition to the body are now just traces of natural and synthetic fibers, plastics, metals, leathers, fur, skins, feathers and hair - erasing the past and the difference they once stood for. Thus metabolized, the material began to take the form of strangely beautiful excretions: witnesses to both the transience of our creative endeavors, and the enduring need out of which such efforts are born.'Life is a hiiighway

I don't see any cheweing out. Helmut looks like he just hates talking or is unsure of saying something stupid. I feel bad for the interviewer - the questions are longer than the answers. They should've interviewed Wakefield instead. The man can spin text like fine lace.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

Yes, conceptually, I understand it.
In the interview you posted, he essentially mimics the sentiment of my first post on the subject – swan song/what was once, can no longer be../etc when he goes into the cathartic aspect to his actions. Personally, I see it as an ultimate statement on closure⧐ and finding empowerment thru controlling that closure so definitively.
On another note, was tempted to sig his comment "I am always serious and I am always relaxed", heh. But considering what a big, fat lie that would be, I refrain. ;P.
