Oh, Mr. Van Beirendonck...
I am always told that fashion is 'not a thing' and that 'nobody would wear that'. Well, here's a collection that will make you think about those two things, one way or another. @WalterVanBeirendonck tells us in this runway that 'we need new eyes to see the future' while touching on politics and managing to be inspirational. Save the world but make it fashion. Go ahead, take a peek. I support you.
XOXO
P.S: My favs are as follows:
Imho, some are unwearable (#8 & #10), but some are.
ReplyDeleteWait, what?
DeleteDid you watch the video?? LOL Oh, I would wear any of these ten in a heartbeat.
XOXO
Big says,
ReplyDeleteThis wasn't a fashion runway show as much as it was a walking art installation. Outside of a piece here or there that might actually be wearable (see the shirt and tie on model #2 right out of the gate). The rest might belong in a nightclub. XOXO
Love that point of view!
DeleteFashion in itself is more related to architecture and art than to anything more conspicuously consumable. I thought the ribcage jackets were beautiful but would not be able to wear them (because I don't think they'd fit my aesthetic). And some of the clothes do remind me of club kids!
XOXO
I am fashion-challenged so the attractiveness of this eludes me, alas.
ReplyDeleteLOL
DeleteLove your honesty.
XOXO
However, I DO like these two AI-generated videos, LOL -- I hope you enjoy them too!

AI. Never disappoints.

Sorry, but these look like costumes you'd see in a David Lynch film.
ReplyDeleteAnd why sorry?
DeleteDaving Lynch is genius!!!
XOXO
The look is very David Rose from Schitt's Creek kinda vibe!
ReplyDeleteHahaha
DeleteYes, very that. Did you know that ALL THE CLOTHES were actually designer? They used real Ralf Simons and Vuitton. Levy talks about that in interviews.
XOXO
What the hell did I just smoke?
ReplyDeleteI have the feeling I would be sweating like a whore in church in most of these. LMAO!
Hahaha
DeleteI tripped with the ribcage jackets. For real. And I think the plastic is mostly a statement about ecology. I'd wear that coat to Trader Joe's though...
XOXO
I do agree with the latex pants though. I remember helping a friend once get into a latex jumpsuit for his puppy play party....it was all I could do to get the thing pulled on and up!!!!! I will admit his cock looked hot in it though.
DeleteAt the risk of revealing the true old fart that I am it impressed me as the work of someone left unsupervised in a design studio for most of their childhood.
ReplyDeleteLOL
DeleteI love that! His designs do have that childlike penchant for color. I think he's genius.
XOXO
