Helmut Lang Nods to Heritage With Hand-Painted Cowboy Boots
Riffing on the brand’s Spring ‘94 runway show.
Last month, Helmut Lang launched a new denim line known as Helmut Lang Jeans. Now, the renowned brand is collaborating with talented artist Sarah Morris for a special run of hand-painted Nocona cowboy boots.
Taking inspiration from the hand-painted cowboy boots of the Helmut Lang Spring 1994 runway showcase, the label’s designers and editor-in-residence Alix Browne aimed to create footwear that furthered the “ethos of the brand in engaging with artists in unexpected ways.” A limited-edition effort, the hand-painted cowboy boots will be limited to only 25 pairs. Besides the unique paint-work, these boots are also stamped and dipped by Morris herself.
You can check out Helmut Lang and Sarah Morris’ new Nocona cowboy boots collaboration above. The boots will retail for $1,500 USD and will hit the shelves of Helmut Lang’s physical locations, SSENSE and the official Helmut Lang website.
