Helmut Lang Relaunches With New Campaign
American fashion house Helmut Lang has revealed a number of new initiatives along with its first campaign under the leadership of editor-in-residence, Isabella Burley, concurrently the editor-in-chief of London-based Dazed & Confused magazine.

In addition to the campaign, Helmut Lang has restored its original logo, and revamped its digital identity with a new website for HelmutLang.com. There’s also Helmut Lang Re-Edition, a project via which the brand will welcome the return of iconic heritage pieces from it’s archive made available in a series of volumes spaced four months apart, with a portion of proceeds donated to non-for-profit charities.
This will be followed by a continuation of Seen By: The Artist series, which be a year long collaboration with twelve visual artists to re-contextualize famous works of art as limited-edition posters and t-shirts, etc. Then there is Shayne Oliver, the 20-something designer behind Hood by Air, who will debut his Residency collection at New York Fashion Week on September 11.
