Fashion Week F/W 19/20 Men – Day 2
WALTER VAN BEIRENDONCK
Titled WOW, the FW collection by WVB is shouts out clearly a message about freedom: star or freak, be who you want to be. The reference to the original club kid and artist Leigh Bowery, an all time favourite for many avantgarde designers, is perfectly on point. Walter created a hard core rainbow delight, orchestred from head (thanks to make-up artist Inge Grognard and hairstylist Charlie le Mindu) to toe (thanks Moon Boot and Giddy Up for amazing footwear collaborations).
His career may have started in the mid 80s and the peak of his popularity may have occurred in the late 90s with his techno echoed brand W<, Walter van Beirendonck is still at the forefront of design. The maverick Belgian designer has proofed once again today his ability to create ignition in fashion minds with a colorful show.
