.. and I can´t stop laughing..
I remember a fitting in 1996, when I worked as an assistant to Daniel Küpper, who worked as an assistant to Helmut Lang, and we were working on the first season of Helmut Lang Jeans. We all were looking at a tight knee-length pencil skirt that I was wearing, and Helmut asked: "Well, Natascha, how about colour and fabric suggestions?", and I, eager to escape my Happy Schoolgirl Image, answered "Red leather.." Helmut looked at me and said, his voice dripping with a mixture of disdain and indulgence: "Natascha, please.. Be subtle.."
I think that is all there is to say about Shayne Oliver´s interpretation slash Re-Edition collection of the brand.
The picture above was shot by Jork Weismann for Brand Unit. Andrej Pejic was modelling Helmut Lang clothes from various seasons, which I had to search for all over the place. B, a good friend of mine, who had collected pieces from the days of the giant Atelier sales, asked me if I also wanted to have the flag that had adorned the outside of the Helmut Lang Vienna Shop, and on an impulse I said "Yes, pleeeease.. If we are allowed to burn it.." I think he found the idea quite amusing.
Armed with lighter fluid and matches, a bit worried about setting the studio on fire, but determined nonetheless, we did the pic. And it proves that I´m not only a stylist, but a clairvoyant as well.
