One of my favorite designers showed their true colors this past NYFW. Nicole and Michael Colovos of Helmut Lang seem to know how to create one hell of a dark, enticing outfit. Their Fall 2012 RTW line consisted of touches of fur, lots of layers, subtle and not-so-subtle seductiveness, leather, and of course, LOTS of black.
I love how they always manage to create pieces that layer so well. Winter-wear can often be bulky, so I love how Helmut Lang creates interesting and flattering outerwear and sweaters that still lend to a more feminine silhouette.
FUR: As aforementioned in my previous post, I am a bit enamored with the unique fur additions to most designer's Fall collections, with Helmut Lang being no exception. I especially love the use of the red fur caplet over a fitted, graphic dress.
Speaking of graphics... I really enjoyed their use of natural elements to create a unique element to, seemingly, simple pieces.
And the suits.. oh my. My favorite being the not-so-suit, suit featuring some seriously skin-hugging leather leggings and a simple white blazer.
