VERSACE S/S1996 - SLIP DRESS

Throughout Western fashion key items of underwear have mutated into outerwear; women's shifts have turned into frills at the neckline before evolving into blouses. Marie Antoniette's chemise dress in Elizabeth Vigée-Lebrun's portrait of c.1783 predates two centuries the baby doll dress of the 1950's and the slip dress of the 1980's and 90's.
 The slip dress is in effect the first garment to have cleared the underwear trend.
Subsequently pyjamas, bras, dressing gowns have alternated as seasonal trends. It’s in the '70s that the slip dress becomes a real dress to wear. In the 90s with the rise of minimalist style the slip dress becomes an absolute trend.
In 1996 Gianni Versace dedicates an entire collection to the slip dress.

THE 20's ARE FUCHSIA

Playing with a 90's fuchsia silk slip dress and a blonde wig, I hardly recognize myself. Years ago at a carnival party I dressed up as Barbie: blonde wig and fuchsia dress, arrived at the party I greeted my friends and no one recognized me. Actually, I don’t feel much blonde, but for this dress I had to be blonde.

90's WERE FUCHSIA

Abandoned the excesses of the early 90s, the last years of the last decade of the millennium is characterized by minimalism. The clothes are simple, the silhouettes essential, but  the fuchsia, glamorous and exuberant color par excellence, resists despite the dominant palettes are characterized by sober and discreet colors.

WHAT'S HELMUT LANG DOING?

Left:Helmut Lang's sculpture - Right: Helmut Lang's fashion 
I want to draw on the few days ago article by Sara Mower published on Vogue.
 She writes an "Amarcord" about who was Helmut Lang during the 90's.
 "Lang performed the rites of passage into adulthood for all those who had grown up as punks and ravers, people who’d slouched through their youth wearing nothing but T-shirts, jeans, parkas, and sneakers as their tribal badges of honor. Before Helmut, fashion had nothing for this anti-fashion youth-pack to put on. They didn’t even want it. But by the mid-nineties, this was the crowd that was rising to power in the creative classes: artists, actors, stylists, photographers, movie-makers, editors, graphic designers, entrepreneurs-people in their 20s and 30s who were going out and killing it in business for the first time in their lives."
 The structured and elegant silhouette by Lang fitted perfectly with the minimalism of the first year ninety. With Martin Margiela, Ann Demeulemeester, and Jil Sander among them, defining styles that became labeled as “deconstructionist” or “minimalist.”
 At the beginning the Lang's label have been successful in Austria, this has encouraged Lang to expand in Europe. In 1986, he started selling its models in Paris. In 1998, he moved to New York City. In 1999 Prada bought 49% of the brand Lang, the following year, Prada has gained 51%, taking total control. In 2005 Lang quit his work as fashion designer. Prada consequently sold it to Link Theory of Japan in 2006. Link Theory re-launched the Helmut Lang label with new designers in 2007, (Michael e Nicole Colovos untill 2014).
While the brand with his name went on, Helmut Lang reinvented himself as an artist.
 After several exhibitions since 2007 in Europe and United States, last winter, the New York gallery Sperone Westwater presented an exhibition of sculptures by Helmut Lang, the artist’s first New York gallery solo show.
Lang’s artistic practice is characterized by his use of materials and textures, assembled from diverse sources and repurposed and transmuted with resin and pigment into a series of pillar-like sculptures, each measuring between 10 and 12 feet high. A series of wall sculptures, composed of resin and pigment pressed together in plankton-like sheets, offers a delicate contrast to the taut tall pillars.
If with her fashion in the 90's Mr.Lang he dictated the rules of minimalism, now with his work following the wave of post-minimalism.

 Voglio riallaciarmi all'articolo di Sara Mower pubblicato un paio di giorni fa su Vogue.
 La Mower scrive un'Amarcord su cosa è stato il designer Helmut Lang negli anni '90.
 "Lang ha eseguito i riti di passaggio all'età adulta per tutti coloro che erano cresciuti come punk e raver, persone che avevano stravaccato attraverso la loro gioventù con addosso solo T-shirt, jeans, giacconi, e scarpe da ginnastica come loro segni distintivi tribali d'onore. Prima di Helmut, la moda non aveva nulla da far indossare per questo giovane-pacchetto anti-moda. Ma verso la metà degli anni novanta, questa è stata la folla che stava sorgendo al potere nelle classi creative:.. artisti, attori, stilisti, fotografi, cineasti, redattori, grafici, imprenditori -persone che con i loro 20 e 30 anni erano uscite per far fuori il business per la prima volta nella loro vita.
 " Le siluette minimali e ben strutturate di Lang si adattano perfettamente al minimalismo dei primi anni '90. Con Martin Margiela, Ann Demeulemeester, e Jil Sander definisce lo stile che viene chiamato "decostruzionista" o "minimalista".
 Il sucesso iniziale del marchio a Vienna, incoraggia lo stilista ad espandersi in Europa. Nel 1986 comincia a vendere i suoi modelli a Parigi. Nel 1998 si trasferisce a New York. Nel 1999 Prada compra il 49% del brand, e l'anno seguente acquisisce il controllo totale col 51%. Nel 2005 Lang lascia il suo lavoro di fashion designer. Sucessivamente Prada vende alla giapponese Link Theory che rilancia l'etichetta con 2 nuovi designer (Michael e Nicole Colovos fino al 2014).
 Mentre il marchio con il suo nome va avanti, Helmut Lang si reinventa come artista.
Dal 2007 dopo una serie di mostre in Europa e negli Stati Uniti, lo scorso anno la galleria Newyorkese Sperone Westwater ha presentato una personale dell'artista.
 La pratica artistica di Lang si caratterizza per l' uso di materiali  e texture assemblati  con resina e pigmenti in una serie di sculture pilastro, ognuna misura tra i 10 e i 12 piedi. Una serie di sculture a parete, composte da resine e pigmenti pressate insieme in fogli tipo plancton, offre un delicato contrasto con gli alti pilastri
 Se con la sua moda Mr.Lang negli anni '90 dettò le regole del minimalismo, ora con il suo lavoro segue l'ondata del post-minimalismo.

CROPPED

If towards end of the 90's the waist of trousers is low and T-shirts are longer, during early '90s the proportions were reversed, high waist and top cropped under the breast. Nothing new also for that time, as we see from the last image in the 60's these proportions were absolutely been in fashion in those days.

 Se verso la fine degli anni '90 i pantaloni erano a vita bassa e le magliette più lunghe, all'inizio degli anni '90 le proporzioni erano invertite, vita alta e top tagliati sotto il seno. Niente di nuovo anche per quel tempo, come si vede dall'ultima immagine: negli anni '60 infatti queste erano le proporzioni dettate dalla moda.
