In an overcrowded room eager to attend the show, the young Belgian prodigy Tim Van Steenbergen presented his Fall-Winter 2010-2011 collection inspired by the costumes he created for the Opera Der Ring des Nibelungen by Wagner, which has just started at La Scala in Milan and will be performed until 2013.
Tim van Steenbergen multiplies the materials, not hesitating to combine them in a subtle way: cotton jacquard, jersey, waxed wool, leather, silk, Ottoman prints, gradient knits, corduroy, and even fur.
The designer proposes a refined style revisiting the great classics of contemporary fashion: dresses, straight and draped skirts. The colors are sober, ranging from black to gray and very dark blue. His collection offers strong lines on a semi-transparent base. The graphic shapes play between matte and shiny, between structure and fluidity, which gives a contrast between a feminine and masculine look.
The designer multiplies the skirt suits with men’s jackets worn just on the shoulders while the more feminine jackets, more fitted are worn belted.
The Tim Van Steenbergen woman does not hesitate to go out in a bodysuit, high-waisted shorts or retro bra just covered with a jacket, the skirts are short but she remains chic and modern. She reveals her long legs which remain naked.
A resolutely trendy style, modern, precise cuts and noble materials, the woman Tim Van Steenbergen is a chic woman, trendy and who likes to divert the codes.
