HISTORY
From Autumn/Winter 1996–1997, this Helmut Lang BDU jacket exemplifies his reworking of military staples through transparency and unconventional fabric treatments. The collection featured utilitarian silhouettes—field jackets, combat pants, and uniforms—rendered in sheer and coated fabrics, challenging perceptions of protection and exposure. This see-through interpretation of the Battle Dress Uniform captures Lang’s minimalist yet radical approach to subverting military functionality.
