Lang, now a full-time artist, put the 6,000 garments he still owned through the shredder to create raw material for his sculptures, reported WWD.
He’ll put about a dozen of the resulting works on show at a Hamptons gallery in New York from next week. Along with fabric, the floor-to-ceiling sculptures incorporate plastic, fur, hair and metal, which creative director Neville Wakefield says highlights ‘the transience of our creative endeavours.’
