Walter Van Beirendonck PANTS

Avant-garde icon Walter Van Beirendonck founded his namesake label in 1983 as an expression of his singular vision. One of the famed Antwerp Six, the Belgian designer synthesizes an eclectic assortment of cultural touchstones into collections of thoroughly original garments. Strong graphics, innovative shapes, and electrifying color combinations define the label’s ready-to-wear and accessories. Outlandish constructions elevate traditional tailoring, while tongue-in-cheek prints bring a sense of humor to the brand’s unconventional sportswear. A behemoth of idiosyncratic design and couture-level craftsmanship, Walter Van Beirendonck continues to blur the line between art and fashion.
