Helmut Lang Pillow Neck Jacket

Austrian-born Helmut Lang is a New York-based artist and former menswear designer who was renowned for his preternatural ability to create collections that brought together disparate influences to create a minimal and uniquely wearable aesthetic that has been echoed by fellow designers and brands ever since. With inspirations ranging from rom bondage straps to repurposed military clothing, flight suits and painter pants, his collections often featured several innovative and highly covetable pieces. His late '90s collections in particular have become the most collectible. The pillow neck jacket debuted in his Autumn/Winter 1999 collection, incorporating a bondage influenced internal carry harness and cargo pockets with a buttoned detachable packable rain hood, which doubles as a neck rest clearly inspired by the kind often worn by travelers on long flights. This iteration, done in a lightweight dark navy cotton/poly blend, is a perfect outer layer that can easily be stowed away or carried in warmer weather or worn as a shell in more temperate climates.
