A few things I'm looking forward to:

There has been an empty place in my heart since one fateful walk down Wooster Street last year, to discover that Helmut Lang had closed up shop. However, word has it that the man who practically has a trademark on the color black is gearing up to relaunch, post-Prada:

"We are not ready to announce it yet," Lang said at a gallery opening recently, "but we do something, maybe this year - me and my office."

In completely unrelated, but equally encouraging news, Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro's stunning 1991 feature debut Delicatessen will be released on DVD for the first time May 2nd.

The Proposition, a dark, contemplative, blood and dirt soaked 'Australian Western' written by none other than Nick Cave, comes to US screens this spring. The soundtrack, scored by Cave and Warren Ellis, will be released on Mute February 21st.
