Helmut Lang Spring 2011 bags

the nude leather looks so delicious but i don't know, somehow the 2 front pockets kinda make me think about inflated boobies :/

The Runway Sniper #08

Helmut Lang Fall Winter 2008/2009 Menswear

It seems comeback season is here! At least for me. I was googling thru the internet searching for pictures of the latest Helmut Lang collection and I was duly surprised at how much I am attracted to the menswear design. Clean, understated and yet sharply cut with interesting draping, collar details and exceptional choice of materials. With the closure of menswear at Miu Miu and Rykiel Homme, I applaud this new Helmut Lang arriving to the shores of Singapore! Thanks to Club 21's Blackjack store, we now have the chance to once again wear and enjoy the continuation of Helmut Lang's creative vision.

Michael and Nicole Colovos now heads the creative reins of this once respected and intellectual brand since the namesake designer left the brand. They retain the intellectually rigorous approach to fashion, while steering clear of slavish retread. Up until spring 2008, only small capsule collections were launched. So for fall winter another set of exceptionally appealing and urban sharp looks have been created. I look forward to checking out this new collection as the pics look really promising. It will be a departure from my usual D&G looks:-) I would love a change in style next season:-P For me, the first look with the draping collared hoodie, and the fifth look with the open collared sweatshirt is to die for!

My Bag Collection #31

Helmut Lang Canvas Doctor's Bag

Helmut Lang...a name that almost been forgotten until the resurrection of the brand recently with a new collection by a new creative team. So I thought I should do a post on this bag, which fortunately was acquired when Helmut Lang, himself was still in creative control. Helmut Lang is known for his well cut clothing, simple and yet provocative modern clothing. As does his clothing, this beautiful canvas Doctor's bag has an understated charm without being too flashy or trashy.

I love the colour of the bag. The beige canvas with the tone-on-tone Beige leather handles and magnetic buckled closure tabs makes this a very gorgeous daily companion. The top of the bag is reinforced with metal frames, similar to a doctor's bag and features internal pockets and base metal studs. The handy size could drop in quite a handful of your belongings. But I doubt the handles is made for carrying laptops. I dare not try!

One flaw about the bag is it is made of soft canvas and with a metal frame for the opening, that means the bag is slouchy when not filled and the heavy top keeps drooping down when you open the bag to get the contents. Fortunately, I found I can live with that small inconvenience so the bag is still a charmer to me.

Retail price: Approx. SGD $800. Where to buy: Helmut Lang Boutique at Pacific Plaza (Now Closed)
