Walter Van Beirendonck Fall/​Winter 2011 | Paris Fashion Week

In the midst of Wal­ter Van Beirendonck’s charm­ing crazy, tra­di­tional menswear basics hold up with fan­tas­tic rein­ter­pre­ta­tions. Cre­at­ing his own brand of alien, Van Beiren­donck intrigued the senses with a strong vision that showed a skilled hand at suit tai­lor­ing, while also dis­play­ing the eccen­tric­i­ties that set the designer apart from his peers. With fit­ted suit­ing at the collection’s core, all the stops were pulled out for fall’s out­er­wear, which employed color and tex­ture for over­size cre­ations, mark­ing the season’s choice of play­ful structure.
