Review of W Magazine, September 1998
One of the main articles in W September 1998
is a story about designer Helmut Lang, "The Sleeping Giant". The story is written by Bridget Foley,
a veteran W and fashion writer. The thrust of the story is that Lang is shaking up the fashion
industry by setting new trends (e.g. stretchy Ts in the early 1990s) and altering the tradional
fashion collection show schedule. Lang moved his Spring 1999 show to September, and pulled with him
Clavin Klein and Donna Karan. W says the Lang is "fashion's current epitome of hip", quite a jump
for a designer that Saks Fifth Avenue spokesperson Nichole Fichelis says was merely "marginal"
only 10 years ago. How did it happen?
