HELMUT LANG

Helmut Lang is the epitome of minimalist fashion design – so much so that his work could be overlooked or quickly passed over when browsing through clothes. But this is in no way an indication of the quality and craftsmanship of his work or the respect and influence he has had on designers and fashion enthusiasts. In an article by The Independent, Kay Barron, who is Grazia’s fashion news and features editor, says “He was the king of minimalism; him and Jil Sander. It was all about the power of the white shirt, and really going back to basics after the excess of the 1980s; after shoulder pads and extravagant dressing, it felt fresh.”

If you aren’t familiar with Lang’s design, then you’re in luck. As part of their Turn of the Century exhibit, which explores and celebrate how fashion has changed since the 18th century, the Bath Fashion Museum is showcasing over 20 pieces (circa 1997-2005) donated by Helmut Lang himself. The exhibit starts May 1. Click Read More for additional information.
