Belgian designer Walter Van Beirendonck is a fashion legend, one of the original “Antwerp Six” (along with Martin Margiela, Ann Demeulemeester, Dries Van Noten, Dirk Bikkembergs, Marina Yee, and Dirk Van Saenes), and his singular vision has not only endured, but is beautifully executed in his latest collection, shown earlier this week in Paris. The Berlin “licky bear” icon features prominently, along with giant cartoon hands, gay camo, velvet tailoring, lovely topcoats, and fun knitwear.

“The latest in Deer Hunting chic!”
The head wraps were the models idea; less chance of being identified on the catwalk.
Somethings it’s just hard to understand, what is fashion. Really oh my god~ lol!
I think you’re getting at a really essential question, JJ, haha.
I imagine this is what it would look like if a blind person went to a thrift store and picked their wardrobe at random.
Walter is THE BEST. You won’t find his stuff being ripped off by Banana Republic. He’s gay, a bear, proud and lifts the standards of creativity higher with each collection. Check out when he did a whole runway show with only bears.. here’s the underwear sexxxtion:
