Helmut Lang: When trend and refined collide

The Austrian designer does slouchy chic - with a colourful edge
Being trendy without compromising refinement; that's what we love about the SS13 collection from Austrian designer Helmut Lang.
Defying the conventional and uniform, Lang’s designs are chic and casual, comfortable and ultra-feminine in equal measure. We love the originality of his pieces and that little bit of madness he adds to everyday wear.
Black and structured, the designer plays mainly with positive/negative but with a hint of colour like lovely pastels. The materials are soft and just transparent enough to add a touch of glamour to causal looks. Pants, short or long, impeccably cut, offer generous pockets for an added attitude. Light and breezy, they work best with heeled sandals.
Whether a jacket, a dress or just a simple tee, Helmut Lang offers just what we need to combine style and comfort. Forget the LBD, those asymmetrical silk numbers and mesh sweaters are all we need to invest in this summer for the ultimate slouchy chic look.
Helmut Lang is available in selected stores and online outlets (Club21, MatchesFashion, Shopbop, net-a-porter and more).
