When we last checked in with Helmut Lang, the minimalist-cool label revealed its relocated Melrose Avenue flagship was set to open October 1st. Turns out its grand debut in the WeHo Design District isn't happening after all, but the brand hopes to open "sooner rather than later."

Also still up in the air are the exact coordinates to Helmut Lang's first-ever LA sample sale, which takes place Thursday, October 22nd. We'll share any updates as soon as we get 'em.
