capsule collection 2009: Helmut Lang
Object: Vintage dress from Louis Bourgeois' personal wardrobe
Helmut Lang chose this simple but feminine black silk dress from Louise Bourgeois, which she kept with all her other clothes and items to be reused at a later point with the purpose of turning them into something else. This philosophy, which is generally the Anti-Christ of fashion, has become the survivor-chic formula in the first recession period of 2008-2009. As the realities of the current economic climate developed, the idea of keeping clothes for a longer period of time and turn- ing to vintage garments became a significant trend. That shift was made much easier for the fashion crowd as it also embraces the idea of environmental and ecological consciousness and sustainable consumption, allowing people to enhance personal style with a positive approach.
