This is the work of Walter Van Beirendonck and, while he's quite frank about his desire to "shock and amuse" the industry, and despite what we may tag this post, this man does not create fashion. He creates pranks. "Models wore full-body leotards, some emblazoned with skeletons, some with fleshy muscles and, ahem, appendages. Others came down the runway in T-shirts with cartoonish prints and superhero-inspired tops. But all sported beards meant to look like twigs and leaves (garden-gone-to-seed versions of Van Beirendonck's own). That may have been the provocateur's most wearable look: faux facial hair fit for a wood nymph." Do not buy this garbage, unless you are looking for a very, very expensive Halloween costume.
