It’s that time again to introduce a new season, SS10 shows are upon us and the trade shows have begun their global trotting. With that said I would like to open up the SS10 collection reviews with Helmut Lang. Perfectly tailored, beautiful and timeless silhouettes are staples of Helmut Lang’s collections. I absolutely love the range of looks for next Spring/Summer from the ultra slim fitting harem pant suit there is a seamless transition into a more grungy washed denim look, which repeatedly demonstrates his innate sense of concepting. This collection is a great opener because its like that beautifully stretched canvas too beautiful to even touch with a paintbrush, allowing  us to go anywhere from here.

Womens SS09 Collection

Kostas Murkudis was born in Dresden in 1959. As his name suggests, his parents came from Greece. He went to West Berlin as a teenager and studied fashion at the Lette Foundation’s design school. After a short period as a trainee with Wolfgang Joop, he became the right-hand man of Viennese designer Helmut Lang in 1985. Murkudis stood in his “master’s” shadow for a long time, and his style was regarded as kind of “Lang No. 2″; those times are now gone for good. In 1992, Murkudis took the plunge and launched his first collection for women. After a show in Japan, his Paris debut in 1997 caused quite a stir. A menswear collection followed.
