Walter Van Beirendonck continued his assault on sample sizes with
his free approach to menswear, and the gay bear culture. Van
Beirendonk covered his male models (of all sizes) and a few female
models in plaid, pockets and holes, creating an overall look that was
masculine, even at some points campy.

On the accessory front, Van Bierendonck offered a challenge to the
the norm by accessorizing his men in show-stopping jewelery of varying
colors that gave, not just a touch of femininity but, opulence and
luxury to the collection. He also wrapped models in
elongated tiger and crocodile knapsacks by London accessories company
Chris & Tibor —providing enough fun in fashion to bring out the giddy playful child in any
elitist drone
