RUNWAY: Walter Van Beirendonck FW19

Avant-garde designer Walter Van Beirendonck offered up a truly color-full Fall/Winter 2019 with subtle narrative hints at internet anonymity via lucha libre masks and global warming via "endangered w-species" emblazoned on coats and blankets. While the assault of clashing colors and patterns might be offputting to some, the technical aspects of creating these looks in luxurious fabrics like cashmere is a triumph, taken together with the high level of color saturation.
