Ever wished you had the chance to purchase rare, vintage pieces from Helmut Lang? Well, now’s your chance. The brand is launching a small collection of pre-owned authentic pieces from the personal collections of select Helmut Lang fans. The first collection comes from the private collection of Jim Walrod – a curator and collector that worked with the likes of Jean Nouvel and Richard Gluckman. See the full offering and collection, available now on HELMUTLANG.COM
WALROD WAS A CHAMPION OF CONTEMPORARY DESIGNERS AND UNUSUAL AND LARGELY UNDERAPPRECIATED WORKS OF ART, DESIGN AND POP CULTURE. WHEN IT CAME TO ART, ARCHITECTURE, OR ANYTHING ELSE OF BEAUTY, TIME, WALROD ALWAYS SAID, IS THE ONLY CRITIC THAT REALLY MATTERS.
HELMUT LANG’S ACQUISITION OF THE JIM WALROD COLLECTION SUPPORTS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FORTHCOMING INITIATIVE HELMED BY THE WALROD ESTATE THAT WILL KEEP JIM’S SPIRIT ALIVE BY CONNECTING YOUNG CREATIVES WITH MENTORS IN THEIR FIELDS. MORE INFORMATION WILL BE RELEASED FROM THE ESTATE IN DUE COURSE.
