Happiness is to be found when in pursuit of it, in the soothed expectation, on the way, not only upon the arrival. Accepting detours, just going the way, which is anyhow not this obvious to anyone.
Thomas Bettinelli



Happiness is just a hairflip away.
Chris Crocker

A NEW CLIP EVERY WEEK HERE

"The way the system works now, you see the clothes, within an hour or so they're online, the world sees them. They don't get to a store for six months. The next week, young celebrity girls are wearing them on red carpets. They're in every magazine. The customer is bored with those clothes by the time they get to the store. They're overexposed, you're tired of them, they've lost their freshness".

Walter van Beirendonck

Flemish designer Walter van Beirendonck, 51, graduated in 1980 from the Royal Arts Academy in Antwerp and launched his label in 1983. Clearly inspired by ethnic influences, his designs are recognizable by either strong graphics or innovating cuts and unexpected color combinations. The red thread is his sense of humour, sex with a wink and his concern about safe sex : Walter van Beirendonck likes complete unconventional context.
This Spring / Summer 2008 collection is called Sexclown. Virtual avatars have been fascinating to him ever since the mid-90s. The ability to project oneself as a fantasy is the final evolution in the process of body manipulation. This collection combines the digital lifeform with another all-time classic fascination : fetishism. He wanted the models to look like they just stepped out of the virtual world as pure fantasy characters.
Note that Mr Pearl himself made the corset worn by Alex Marboni. The hats are by milliner Stephen Jones and face jewels by Karin Nunez de Fleurquin.
