AW99 Helmut Lang ‘Bondage’ Goose Down Fill Heavy Weight Puffer Jacket

Helmut Lang’s Fall 1999 collection remains a hallmark in fashion history. Drawing inspiration from aviation and space travel, the utilitarian designer strayed far from the norms of couture, unveiling bulky, armour-like silhouettes. Metallic garments paid homage to the original NASA suits, while moto detailing and reinforced hems lined every garment. The palette was neutral with exception of vibrant electric-orange hues intermittently placed throughout, among subtle hits of indigo denim. From cargo pockets to parachute detailing, Lang exemplified a dystopian, futuristic vision. Being the first collection to release both online and via CD-Rom format, the season was chocked with innovation and a first of its kind.

 

Debuting in the Fall of 1999, this beautiful puffer jacket comes in a heavy weight black base. Filled with a goose down interior, the padded overcoat features button snap welt pockets on either hem alongside metallic zipper hardware. Finished with bondage strap parachute detailing, this piece as a rare size 54 or large, and is in great condition throughout.
