Helmut Lang denim dress from S/S 1996 size 6(40) in EUC

Helmut Lang denim dress from S/S 1996 size 6(40) in EUC Made in Italy. Helmut Lang's S/S 1996 collection was a tremendous success that further solidified his status as the quiet avant-garde spirit of his generation. Several pieces from the S/S 1996 Jeans range were adaptations of archival pieces from the Helmut Lang mainline, realised in hard-wearing materials. This dress features the iconic shape of Lang's iconic early 1990's dresses, while its details are appropriated from Lang's denim jackets for men. The design consists of a denim-style button closure, leading up to a strong point collar. Rectangular patch pockets with flaps decorate the chest, while a sharp horizontal seam creates a gorgeous geometrical detail that is quintessential Lang. The dress's cut is fitted on the torso with a subtle A-line towards the hem, while narrow shoulders and narrow short sleeves further complement the streamlined silhouette. The fabric is a lighter and softer version of Lang's iconic raw blue denim, with a crisp texture and beautiful texture variations that suggest it may have Japanese origins. Beautiful details complete the design, such as the bronze-tone metal hardware engraved with the Helmut Lang logo. As to be expected, all seams are executed with outmost precision. shoulder to shoulder 15" pit to pit 17" waist 30" lenght middle back 39"
