Helmut Lang

The collection from Nicol and Michael Colovos for spring is a beautiful, fluid motion from beginning to end. The fabrics fall so easily into the shapes of jackets, pants, and dresses that I find a certain serenity in the clothes. There is no reliance on gimmicks or essays on trends - this collection simply works, and works because it is simple. Luxury does not rely merely on craft or material, but the inclusion of those with a feeling of ease the garments allow you. Luxury is not luxurious unless you feel so, and it is much easier to feel so if you are not constrained or overexposed by a garment.


The organic shapes of the pieces speak to the ease with which you can wear them, and the subtle architectural construction gives just the right amount of structure needed so you don’t get too lost in them.

The range in this collection is quietly surprising. The marble-like printed t-shirt and a vest jumpsuit on one side to a basic dress and office casual ensemble on the other free the collection from the limits of appealing to one demographic.
