Helmut Lang SS95 Black Layered Sheer Dress

Helmut Lang showed his Spring Summer 1995 collection in Paris, a season built on the juxtapositions that ran through his nineties work: clear against opaque, supple against rigid. The Vienna-born designer had by then become a central figure in the decade's reductive turn in fashion. This black dress comes from that collection and is constructed from layered sheer fabric.
