Helmut Lang, how I miss thee.

Some good news for the narrow and distraught though: According to Wikipedia, Japanese label Theory is acquiring the abeyant brand from Prada. Lang himself is not expected to return to the label that bears his name, but one of our fashion heroes, Cloak Founder Alexandre Plokhov is rumored to take the design helm.

I've always admired Lang's perfect cuts and restraint, but am giddy with the thought of those lines being married to Plokhov's military/fetish detailing.
