In the annals of Fashion is a Strange Bird: thankyou notes get shrunk & transformed into art.
If it seems to free to be true, it is.
Fashion designer Helmut Lang saved the myriad thankyou notes - for freebies! - sent to him over the years, from his high profile circle of friends & acquaintances, and then decided to publish them as a miniature “art” book. The letters appear as tiny copies the size of a postage stamp in an art-project book supplement to Purple, an avant garde French fashion mag.
Quentin Tarantino raves about Lang's threads, while Anna Wintour is grateful for his friendship. Cate Blanchett praises his brilliance, while Ellen Degeneres & Marc Jacobs both thank him for invites to his show...and decline. And Carine Roitfeld gives gratitude for her handcuff!
It's odd, but still cool in a weird way.
