Helmut Lang is an Austrian artist and fashion designer born in Vienna, now based in New York and Long Island. He established his eponymous label in 1978 and made his international debut at the Centre Georges Pompidou in 1986. Having achieved remarkable success in fashion design, he shifted his focus entirely to art in 1995. Lang revolutionized urban apparel by incorporating unconventional materials, shaping the defining silhouettes of the 1990s and early 2000s. Notably, he was the first to stream a fashion collection online, redefining the way fashion is communicated to a global audience.
His artistic practice includes notable collaborations with artists Jenny Holzer and Louise Bourgeois. In recent years, Lang’s work has explored abstract sculptural forms, physical arrangements, and spatial concepts that transcend the limitations of the human body. He held his first solo art exhibition,ALLES GLEICH SCHWER, at the Kestnergesellschaft in Hanover in 2008.
Excerpts from his ongoing art projectsLong Island DiariesandThe Selective Memory Serieshave been featured in various publications.
In the early 2000s, Helmut Lang launched three fragrances:Cuiron pour Homme, a woody chypre scent for men (2002);Eau de Cologne, an oriental woody fragrance for men (2000); andEau de Parfum(2000). Though these highly acclaimed scents were eventually discontinued, they remained coveted by perfume enthusiasts and collectors, fueling demand for a reissue—which came to fruition in 2014.
All three fragrances were reintroduced in October 2014, housed in the iconic square bottles with minimalist black-and-white labels. While staying faithful to the original formulas in both spirit and ingredients, the 2014 reissue positioned them as unisex fragrances.
Our fragrance database features 7 perfumes by Helmut Lang, with the earliest dating back to 2000 and the most recent from 2014. These fragrances were developed in collaboration with master perfumers Françoise Caron and Maurice Roucel.
