He is also known for elements of surreality in his designs which are apparent in this current collection. Although everything is a rather conservative tight plaid or small print, he uses the patterns to make outlandish things such as (from top to bottom) corsets for men; rouched harnesses; pieces with holes that spell out words like "HOPE" which seem simple but are unique; a plaid jumpsuit combined with an odd red backpack that is actually, a, um... shoulder pack(?); message tee shirts; and fantastic beaded breastplates.
I also really like that he uses muscled and big bearish guys as well as slim young men for models. It feels inclusive and sexy.
His website is wild and worth a look--especially the video archives.http://www.waltervanbeirendonck.com/
