Helmut Lang
AW 1999 Parachute Blazer
AW 1999 Parachute Blazer
This iconic "parachute" blazer from the Autumn/Winter 1999 collection is a classic example of Lang's innovative design approach. The jacket features a traditional tailored silhouette with structured lapels, front buttons, and flap pockets. However, the standout feature is the addition of internal straps, allowing the blazer to be carried like a backpack when not worn traditionally.
This multi-functional detail not only reflects the utilitarian and industrial themes of Lang's work but also introduces a highly practical and avant-garde element to the garment.
Condition details: In good, gently used condition consistent with its age and use. There are signs of use including light fading and a missing button on the cuffs which is easily replaceable. The flaws are visible on close inspection and do not affect the wearability of the item. Refer to photos for further condition details or contact us via the question portal on this page for additional queries or photo/video requests.
