Walter Van Beirendonck is the wild one of the Antwerp Six. The international fashion world still remembers the models falling off the stage during his most spectacular fashion show at The Lido in Paris, May 1995.
Fascinated by toys, computers and new media, Walter presents colourful and very hot collections. He is one of the first designers who has explored and used the Internet and CD-Roms. Walter van Beirendonck's newest CD-Rom contains guides to copying his own designs - and of course Walter himself will select the best copy. Or how about trying Walter's Future Face Kit, which will enable you to re-design your face into a proper cyber look.
