Thank you. When you were explaining how Helmut designed a parka, I thought that it is soo important to know the fashion history, the history of the clothes we wear. When we know this, the clothing stops being just a thing we put on. It has a history, so it has a meaning, you start wearing clothes in a conscious way. With a thought behind every item. Wow! I love that kind of analysis.
This was actually extremely informative, thank you. Please do Craig next.
Nick G on its way
i dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly lost the password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
Good to see you back, broski 💫💫
Love your videos and your calm way of presenting these Designers. Would love to see these more regularly.

Mawali Omar funny thing, I did actually cry while watching this when I heard the instrumental
Enno Busch atta boy haha
This is my favorite channel on CZcams. I have never seen breakdowns of labels in fashion like this. I never knew so much about fashion in my life. I’m 15 and my dream is to be a fashion designer and you have been a huge factor in helping me learn more and more everyday as well as helping me achieve my dream. Thanks man✌🏼
I grew up when Helmut was becoming the buzz and moved to NYC. He belongs to the group of deconstructionist. Minimalist??? Yes and no. Purists??? Yes and no. But more than anything, his looks are always urban!!! Not minimalist but city dwelling folk looks. Hence his silhouettes tend to be not voluminous. Btw, minimalist and purists tend to intertwine. The difference is minimalist makes clothes, and style them in a very basic way. Purists designers tend to focus on fabric and toying around seams, darts, even volumes. Balenciaga is a purist and helmut Lang has purist tendencies too esp with garment constructions.
Entering my mid twenties and having worked a typical white collar corporate job for a couple of years has made me appreciate designers such as Raf Simons and Helmut Lang so much more. Thanks for uploading such top notch content.
One of my fav designers + one of my fav bands + a soothing voice = Super chilled weekend night . Thank you Karsten !
First time I've seen one of your videos. Thanks for this! So refreshing to hear someone describe and analyze fashion in an unpretentious way :)
Keep it up!
God damn bro. Something so charismatic about the way you talk about Lang in this video haha. Can tell you’re like passionate about it. Thanks for this
I've been re/discovering different designers and I have come to love the subtleties of Helmut Lang and him being unpretentious, just doing "soul works" ✨
this is just pure gold thank you and keep it up
Thank you for this series. Also i finally knew, what type of paint to use, for my projects lol
Thats funny that Raf was also inspired for his "Riot Riot Riot" Collection by the Ukrainian and Romanian youth who he would see at Vienna's flea market that would layer their clothes mixed with the military surplus garments
i can just hear you talk 365 days a year! love you channel
"there wasn't a lot going on" in 90s fashion ? british fashion in particular was being transformed in the 90s with designers like McQueen, good video for sure but to say that is definitely questionable, the 90s was when fashion was beginning to stray away from the stuffy and flash appearance it had in the 80s
facts man
i think what he means was that in the late 80's/beginning of the 90s, a lot of stuff was couture but that the 90s was the era in which "streetwear" (i know that term wasn't used back then) and clothes that were usually not considered "fashion" started to become more artistic, and that helmut, along with people like margiela were poineers in that way. cmiw
This is a statement made by you and the culture which distinguishes your faucets, a nice balance between the caricature in Instagram and the knowledge behind the one in position. Very well done.
Yours truly
i can see that your so passionate about this, this was really well said. definitely subbing and watching many more videos!
naming Helmut Lang the father of streetwear , i like that , this is well done
The "father" of streetwear are the common people from black and latin communities
@@HugoMRB no
@@Stav6 Yes
@@EmeraldaKasim nah
Streetwear is a mix of many cultures. Current trend is mostly based on skate wear.
No designer is the father of streetwear. Some took it to the runway and high fashion, but streetwear was already there.
super interesting video man! I'm getting into fashion, and this stuff is really interesting and helpful!
Thank you for making it easier to get into fashion for a lot of people:)
I think this video was very informative and insightful... up until the part where you called Virgil a cash-grabbing Nigerian, proceeding to pantomime neo-nazi rituals. But nevertheless, I would love to see a video on Margiela next.
bliss foster already did a really good in depth video of margiela, you should check it out!
Deion R Thanks, will do.
“Pantomiming Neo-Nazi rituals”.
LMAOO
Yeah his tone was Definitely Virgil slander
Virgil Abloh did nothing spectacular in fashion Im sorry
Awesome video. A video about Hedi Slimane would be amazing
Hello
I am the publisher of the book "1986-2005 Helmut lang", which records Helmut's archive collection.
i Watch your this video today.
That's really good contents!
Hello, is there somewhere I can find this book?
@@nickchua6555 DSM, our book is very rare
@@11ml5_ I see, I would love to buy one but cannot find :(
;( oh
Sorry
Beautifully explained, thank you :>
how is karsten's channel still so small? this stuff is so high-quality and well researched
Favorite CZcamsr rn
awesome video! could you do one on Margiela please
Great video man, I was gonna do a video on helmut sometime soon too lmao
hi, where did you find those pictures?? thanks
great video and great information!!
Great video.
Thank you very much.
Very well spoken and explained
Very well done. Thank you
Karsten you are loved!!!!
It sounds a lot like what Margiela did back in the day. If you want to know more about him you should watch the Dutch/Flemish film about him called: We Margiela. It's a really good and extensive documentary on him, his work and the team
Where I can find it?
co to ma być unfortunately it’s only available with Dutch subtitles and mostly Dutch/flemish spoken... Maybe you can contact them through Instagram and ask if there’s a way to get it with English subs?
Did you ever figure out how to change it to English?
@markel payne Chatgpt maybe?
Realy good work man thank you ! But could you please put the subtitles thxxxxxx
I love how Helmut Lang's general vibe is "it's the apocalypse, but we still have to go to work"
No idea why i would connect to that or find it relatable. No reason whatsoever.
Currently wearing my HL tencel wrap blouse which makes me appreciate draping every time i wear it
Understanding Karsten Kroening next
What do you think of wearing the new helmut lang stuff coming out now? Would you wear it?
Great vid. Ann D next please

Well well well, if it isn't the funky pants guy...
I remember buying Helmut Lang's clothes when he was still designing it -- You didn't have to "understand" his design, you bought the clothes because they were cool, and because you didn't want to dress like your dad.
Uhh whats the song playing at the beginning
elaakso 00 in desc
love this videos for real . but speak a bit louder please or something, got evrything on max here .. still struggling
nice video man, its been a week that i've learnt a lot from this playlist, hope you'll continue this series, can I have the song that plays in the background btw?
Thanks jimmy! Glad you liked the videos ! The song in the beginning is Camp Orchestra by Show Me the Body, and the second song is Nothings Gonna Hurt You Baby by Cigarettes after Sex
@@karstenkroening No worries! Thanks for the titles but the cigarettes after sex's song is a cover version right?
Ty now i understand why some people luv archive helmut
@7:10 what a lashing lol
So beautiful video 😍🤩😞🥤🧘♂️
Helmut the father
He defined the 90s
Very good video.
U should Take Helmut Lang from yung Kafa and kücük Efendi as backgroundmusic😉
Cuuutee smile and great haiirrrr
“Giving this blue collar look and making it look cool” I love trust fund kids
Too imagine Helmut telling his story himself wold be insane to hear and as long as I’m alive Helmut lang can take my money 😂

HELMUT SAVED ME #SocietasSecretum
Do margelia next

Extremly interesting, I would love to see ,,understanding Philipp Plein®" next
Tristan Brennwald nothing to understand. His stuff is garbage
@@araweelospirit4180 was a fat joke g, of cause it is!
I have bought the Helmut Laws hoodie I’m not into his archive stuff I just like the design of the hoodie
bondage or straight jackets
Pavement?! :0
Hey man appreciate all the effort that went into this video, but I think that you need to buff up on your fashion history before making a lot of these definite statements. Designer jeans and denim as a wardrobe staple originated long before Helmut Lang, dating back to the the 1950s, popularized by movie stars like James Dean. Additionally, Virgil’s diagonal stripes and brash use of logos and iconography made the brand easily recognizable to a mass audience. Virgil memes are funny and all, but to discredit the foundation of his brand is unfair when inspiration is literally everywhere.
11:38 haad me dying
How can 22 people dislike this video
Margiela Pillow in the back?

Virgil copied Peter saville for Off white not Helmut. Ur not even explaining anything just saying “really cool” after everything. reading off notes you took after watching the “anti fashion” video on yt.
w
Yeat brought me here
I love u.
Nice unrelated CCP parachute leather jacket at 11:58 lol
Preach!! 🗣️😭✋🗣️🗣️🗣️👑✝️
Pardon me, your perspective is incorrect. Minimalism is more apt, but in context, Helmut Lang's style is not street fashion at all. As previous comment stated, it is urban, utilitarian and 'heightened' workwear. Vivienne Westwood, John Galliano were doing streetstyle, anti-couture/fashion a decade before (80s). Please do more reseach. Appreciate your effort put in, you get a C+. You need to go deeper.
U are so cute I fw the videos
You really need to bring the volume up when you speak
stop doing that to your hair yo
I understand that you are making an informative video but can you not make the vid so depressing w the music
That's his vibe... Let him be!

Your too young to understand
