Label Text:This sexy nylon dress shows Helmut Lang’s penchant for clean cuts, tactile synthetics, and neutral colors. Lang’s modernist, urban-inspired designs were coveted for their provocative lack of sentimentally, which brought individual personality to the fore. Lang was the first designer to acknowledge the impact of the internet by debuting his fall 1998 collection online.
