It was all about innovative techniques this season for Nicole and Michael Covolos, the creative duo behind Helmut Lang. From rubber-treated fabric to laser-cut film, nearly every component in their Picasso-inspired collection was made with nontraditional techniques. So it comes as no surprise that the fall/winter 2013 show had a distinctly futuristic feel, replete with the couple’s self-described “sharp slouch” aesthetic.

It was another scorcher at Lincoln Center today, but Caroline handled the humidity with grace. She says she’s a luxe-loving lady and can’t wait to break out her leather and fur for fall.
Her impeccable eye for color and creative silhouettes definitely puts her on my style-star list!

Goddess style is statuesque—but the museum isn’t the only place to admire it. Today’s new muse captures our imagination with elegant draped shapes to rival classically fluid forms.

Our inspiration: The eternally chic tunic of the goddess Hebe by Bertel Thorvaldsens mirrors the sculptural silhouette of a ‘Twisted Tuck’ dress by Helmut Lang.
