Helmut Lang dress and the day it finally fit



Now you know how much i love dresses, so earlier in the year (January) i found this dress on the sale rack at the Barneys Co-op . I have always wanted to have a Helmut Lang anything. I remember going into the Soho store (maybe 8 years ago) and just basking in the total minimalist aesthetic of it. Then i had to leave with just cologne, because really almost everything in there was more than my house payment !

So when i saw this dress i thought even if i have to have organs removed im getting it ! Yes i really did leave the store that day with it not even zipping !!!!!!!! But im glad i did, cause if you think the back is cool, you really should see the front. Its the most basic black dress you could possibly imagine and yet it has the sexiest cutouts with little mesh bits. Its like something you'd see on a little girls " heidi" kind of summer sundress and then rocked out to a goth extreme !

It is smokin****' and if it never fits again, no matter, its what i want to be buried in ! No one will know if they have to split the back !

When i brought that dress to Chicago i wasn't even sure it would fit and it was a real delight when it did ! It was worth all the effort in the world, and as my friend Samantha Weisman said it was no longer the products that made that market but the dress !

Long live Helmut Lang and even more important a really good sale rack !
