I've been having fun cruising through the current season's Walter van Beirendonck collection this morning, and it's about time he had a thread for it.

The name of the collection is "Weird". Here are some highlights from the women's collection.

Crazy Belgians...gotta love em.

That jacket with the pillow-cum-stuffed toy is too cute! Otherwise,I like it overall. The shirt with the watch(I adore the way he does shirt collars) and these sweaters,ski hats and those cool bags.

Edit: I just love the group of red!

The great thing about this is,as mad and colourful as he is,he really makes it up with a nice balance of good tailored pieces and some wearable t's and sweaters. Such a departure from alot of his early days which everything was completely absurd and radical. This has a nice feel to it.

funny to call it weird since it's pretty much the most 'normal' thing i've ever seen from him...

such an improvement imo...
thanks for posting baron...
fun stuff...

 

[eugenius]

I like it...A slight move away from the clubkid/rave goo from back in the day...Like the wrap-around coats for the ladies...
Thanks for bringing this up Baron

 

[The Baron]

Yeah, this is definitely my favorite collection of his to date. Fun, but very wearable (with the possible exception of that crazy women's headpiece with the wings and ears).

It brings to mind all kinds of happy, wintry thoughts. It's toasty-warm and giddy, like a holiday party after drinking too much egg nog.

I thought we already had a topic on this...

Well I think it is a great collection, so creative and cute. I think he is one of the best men's wear designers around.

We had one for his summer 05 collection, but that was all.

sorry if wrong year

 

[cerfas]

I agree Scott, that the tees are really wearable.

 

[enak]

I like it.

If he didn't put his name all over everything, I would buy a lot more of his stuff.
