This is really portrayed in his Autumn/Winter 2013 show, he doesnt make his models walk down a runway like other designers do, he breaks the boundries and its almost questionable if he is a fashion designer or a performance artist.
His show also relate greatly with the season they are set in, such as the Spring/Summer 2010 show, where all of the models wore things like feathers and leaves on their heads. I think this is a really important detail of the show, as its the kind of thing that connects the models with the garments, and the garments with the show itself.

He also pushes the boundries of clothing by making his male models wear female clothing!! this isnt something you see often so when you do come across it its almost something to marvel at. My mindset is that all clothes are unisex, theres no reason a man should not be able to wear womens clothing and vice versa.
How was working for Walter Van Beirendonck's W.&L.T.?
Walter was the only member of the Antwerp school who would go crazy. Walter really interested me because the ideas he developed had never been seen before. We liked the same things. He likes pop, he likes color and he likes sex. While he was working for the jeans label Mustang, Walter hired a football stadium for one of his W.&L.T. shows. He was responsible for Paris's most amazing and most expensive shows.
This is from an interview with Hint Fashion Magazine, i like the fact he explained what Walter Van Beirendonck is like as a person, and the fact that he expands on the fact that he was the only person willing to go crazy with their work is really interesting, because i feel that im like that. Within this line of work there shouldnt be any limitations on what you can do, in a sense its like a refined version of illustration, its just brought to life. its all about what your imagination holds and if you know how to make it work.
