I think I am just trying to be less label conscious as I have built a kind of one-dimensional wardrobe and I invariably ignore many pieces based on the respective history of the designer's work on the whole. too often i am liking something but think, "I will pass because this is _______".
I actually tried that helmut jacket at century and scoffed at the $1900 srp but it was there for $349 and if I needed another leather, i may have cast aside my preconceived ideas of helmut lang lite and grabbed it.
I personally have never understood why they continued the label because the type of people that would generally buy it would have little to no idea about old helmut and the failings of it at a retail level seem to prove me right.
