In many ways, a fashion show can be like a performance: an audience, a stage, photographers and people in the spotlight. Bernhard Willhelm, however, has chosen to blur the fine line between the two, presenting his Autumn Winter collection as a performance/show.
In this article, we’ll confine ourselves to talking about the clothes, since that’s why we attended the event in the first place.
Bernhard Willhelm’s fabrics look like paper, with their mix of volume, pleats and garish colors, making them a sight to behold. This season, he also presents a collection for women, including skirts and sweaters that stand out for their choice of colors (fluo is in vogue) and prints (“classified ads”, slogan-driven opinions).
Clearly, Bernhard Willhelm continued in the vein of his previous collections, offering ever more eccentric and recognizable styles. In fact, the staging reflected the collection’s signature craziness and chaos.
