HELMUT LANG Archival Original 1999 Astro Biker Puffer Coat Bondage Italy Rare 50

Archival original 1999 HELMUT LANG black padded Astro Biker parka with bondage straps. Size Eur 50 or US 40. Inspired by astronaut uniforms, motorcycle safety gear and rave subcultures, Lang created a subversively elegant and uncompromisingly modern universe that has since then inspired a long list of designers.

Being the collection's signature pieces, biker-inspired garments were worn by both men and women in many runway looks. This substantial winter parka exhibits many of the season's distinctive details, while its interior is finished with Lang's iconic bondage straps. The parka has a semi-fitted cut, with narrow shoulders and an oversized straight body.

The sleeves have an engineered construction that follows the shape of the arms, creating an aggressive silhouette while allowing for easy movement. The front closes with a concealed zipper and buttons, leading to an aggressive funnel neck with a large velcro strap and a removable faux fur insert. Biker-inspired stitching decorates the elbows, while the cuffs are finished with zippers.

The interior features adjustable grosgrain cotton straps that can be used to carry the coat like a backpack. The parka is realised in Lang's signature black overdyed cotton flat weave with a resin coating that gives it a textured surface and a matte appearance. The construction of the piece is wonderfully detailed: Wire reinforcement on the neckline can be used to significantly alter its shape, while velcro pieces secure the collar when worn down. Being fully padded on the body and sleeves, the interior is comfortable and exceptionally warm.

A square patch pocket is found on the interior, and the black taffeta lining features vertical quilting. Overall, all seams are immaculately executed inside and out. Its winter proof construction, hard-wearing materials and directional aesthetic are a testament to the Austrian designer's timeless appeal, while resulting in the perfect go-to outerwear piece. Combining Helmut Lang's sophisticated approach with cutting-edge details, this exceptionally rare parka must have been rather out-of-this-world when designed in 1998. Since then, one of Lang's biggest achievements is that his designs from 10 and 20 years ago remain just as relevant and cutting-edge, having inspired a long list of designers and stylists over the years.

We are confident that most contemporary fashion curators would be happy to have this piece in their archive. Parka has full zipper and button front closure. Two outside concealed waist pockets. Measurements taken with coat laid flat approx. Chest- armpit to armpit across front: 22.
