The drab and dreary colours of winter have never looked more fabulous than in the Helmut Lang 2010 fall collection. By drawing inspiration from the work of Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, creative directors Nicole and Michael Colovos have created an edgy yet feminine collection.
The Colovoses have mixed in everything from a well-structured cropped and fitted jacket to industrial designs on draped silk dresses, not forgetting to include several different textiles including wool, fur woven cashmere and blistered leather. The meticulous designs are chic and refreshing, even for the winter months.
