A representative item from Helmut Lang's early period. This is a model from around '97, during the peak of Lang's design, when it was handled at Via Bus Stop. This is from the moleskin suede series. It's a typical Lang piece, taking moleskin, a workwear material, and tailoring it into a double-breasted coat. The material is moleskin suede, with a slight brushed texture that gives it an elegant feel. The lining is made of gold satin, creating a sophisticated yet casual combination that is characteristic of Helmut Lang's attention to detail. It is still wearable and would make an excellent addition to any archive.
