Helmut Lang, contemporary and never worn, the retail tags still attached.
A full-length column of black diamond-mesh jersey (the house calls the fabric Dry Scala) over a black lining, the hem left sheer for the last few inches. The neckline does the talking: a wrapped mesh collar that twists and cinches at the throat, a halter that leaves the back almost entirely bare, fastened with a small clasp at the nape, and a tiny keyhole where the front gathers.
Size XL · Basalt Black · Original retail $450
Encore: contemporary, new with tags. Too good to sit in a closet, and far too good for a landfill.
Measurements to come.
