Helmut Lang AW 2003 M-65 Parka

This is a Helmut Lang M-65 Military Bondage Parka from Autumn/Winter 2003.  

This particular season was a masterpiece in showcasing a visually charged rendition of a variety of influences with the unifying tailoring and craftsmanship associated with the designs. Autumn/Winter 2003 evolved Helmut’s pioneering military inspirations into overt homages to items like aviator pressure suits complete with corset-lacing and safety belt style harnesses reframed as bondage in his avant-garde world of razor-sharp tailoring and sexually charged refinement.

Despite the ambitious and saturated visuals, the entire collection maintains a complete cohesiveness only Helmut Lang could achieve, striking a perfect balance with the clean minimalism he's known for. This collection paved the way for contemporary fashion. With iconic items from AW03 being referred to in museums and design studios, its influence and relevance reaches far even today.

This particular piece is heavily inspired by traditional military garments, it features two outer pockets and one jetted inner pocket with Helmut Lang branding.
