Helmut Lang (born 10 March 1956) is an Austrian artist and former fashion designer and mentor who lives and works in New York and on Long Island.

[1][2] Lang used unconventional materials such as rubber, feathers and metallic fabrics and redefined the silhouette of the 1990s and early 2000s.

The brand's decision to cancel the licensing for an external company to manufacture and market its profitable range of Helmut Lang Jeans was cited as one of the reasons for its loss in revenue.

His recent works explore abstract sculptural forms and physical arrangements beyond the limitations of the human body.

[7] Lang has published excerpts from his ongoing art projects Long Island Diaries [8] and The Selective Memory Series [9] in a number of publications, such as Purple, BUTT Magazine [10], Fanzine 137 [11], Visionaire and most recently The Travel Almanac [12].
