Avant-garde is a term that is freely thrown around these days, sometimes with little meaning. To actually understand what avant-garde or cutting-edge means, you need to really dig into the labels that take those words seriously. Helmut Lang is definitely one of them. This black lambskin studded leather trench from Helmut Lang features an oversized collar, notched lapels, a belted waist, a long length, a cotton lining, all-over silver-tone metal stud detailing, belted cuff detailing and a double-breasted snap button closure.
