Fashion designer Helmut Lang was born in 1956 in Vienna, Austria. He opened his first studio in 1977. He soon started to specialize in avant-garde fashion. By the mid-1980s, his women's ready-to-wear collections had become well known in his home country. He launched his first catwalk show in Paris in 1986. His minimalist approach was labelled as deconstructivist and avant-garde. In 1987 he also began to design men's wear, and promoted an essentially pure urban style.
