Sought
Helmut Lang
Vienna, 1977 to 2005
Vienna minimalism in 90s New York, utility hardware and all. Still reads as modern.
Helmut Lang taught himself, opened a made-to-measure shop in Vienna in 1977, and showed in Paris from 1986. He moved to New York in 1997, put a collection online in 1998 before anyone else, and left fashion in 2005 to make art.
Utility hardware, bondage straps, painter’s denim and reflective tape, all cut lean.
