HELMUT LANG was handled by Via Bus Stop in Japan until the early 2000s. After that, PRADA acquired it in 2004, and designer HELMUT LANG resigned as creative director of PRADA in 2005. From the past history of HELMUT LANG, like Martin Margiela, in Japan, it is divided into "personal period (item directed by HELMUT LANG)", but the item introduced this time was acquired by PRADA. It will be the one after it is done. However, the value of the HELMUT LANG archive increases year by year, in order of value from the early 80s, the heyday of the 90s, and the 00s that followed. Of course, the earliest and heydays are no longer seen in the market, so it can be expected that the value of archives from the 00's will continue to rise in the future.
This product is excellent even if it is not directly directed by HELMUT LANG. Looking at the product again, the body is made of beige cotton fabric and the waist is shaped. Since the waist part is shaped, you can naturally expect the effect of making you look slimmer. As for the details, it comes with a large shell button made of black lip pearl shell that is reminiscent of the HELMUT LANG of yesteryear. Most of the 90's HELMUT LANG items have black pearl shell buttons, and the design follows the details of the past archives. Furthermore, the diameter of this shell button is 18mm, which is very unusual for a shirt with a large button diameter. In addition, the cut line at the hem is a beautiful cut line that is typical of HELMUT LANG. The hem is rounded and has a gusset, making it a rare item for a shirt. In that sense, this shirt bears the name of HELMUT LANG, so it is a first-class product.
Regarding the size, it will be a men's S size in the notation. It's tight like HELMUT LANG, so it's also recommended for ladies. Please consider referring to the dimensions below.
