helmut lang: front row
having been asked by dakis joannou to observe a year in fashion 7/2008–7/2009 and produce a curation and artistic commentary. i realised in the process that this was the first time i found myself in a non-contributing position to the fashion system and asked to occupy the role of observer rather than participant. even if the front row was a virtual one, i have never been there before. after that conclusion, it became clear to me that the front row would be the subject of the commentary. as it was a new experience, i found it interesting enough.
