There Will Be Free Bras at the Helmut Lang Sample Sale

They'll be quite literally giving it away at the upcoming Helmut Lang sample sale. To incentivize shoppers, Clothingline—the venue hosting the sale—sent out an e-mail declaring, "FREE Helmut Lang bra or tank top with any purchase." The brand has been doing funky asymmetrical bras as layering pieces for a few seasons (see above)—maybe they produced more one-shoulder jersey bras than the market demanded?

The Clothingline e-mail further informs that sizes from 00 through 12 will be available and that, "prices are AMAZING!!!" We heard previously that the discount would be 60% off, with dresses at $119 and leather for $399. Are the prices—and the promise of freebies—enough to get you out of bed and onto West 36th Street at 10am on a Sunday for the opening of the sale? During a heatwave? Let us know in the comments.
