Bernhard Jump In My Dressing Up Box!

Royal academy of Antwerp student Bernhard Willhelm its obvious your a multi talented creative creature, what with your CV including such internship placements with the big guns such as McQueen and oh that other influential fashion designer...Vivienne Westwood. But I feel (this may sound a little harsh) that you've become this right show off, flaunting all your fantastic off the wall and highly original spring summer '09 collection. You genius you!




Demonstrating a strong eye for detail (hence I guess the design assistant invitation from fashion 'royalty' Vivienne Westwood). Bernhard effortlessly combines childish and explosive street style fun bold prints with beautiful sharp, sleek and over sized slouchy sport-esque garments; This guy sure knows how to experiment with exaggerated volumes and complex cuts.




There's such a wide range of contrasting and very intriguing textures that you feel compelled to feel, touch and generally explore (especially that foil like multi -toned green skirt... Ooh how I long to grasp and scrunch up in the palm of these itchy hands of mine).

There are some pieces from Bernhard's collection that I'd happily lets say try to 'borrow' and add to my over spilling dressing up box....The glorious and super adventures fun-tastic swirly whirly, scriggle black and white print dress.Complete with an bright orange surreal sized and very domineering bow is destined to be homed in my obscure, outrageous and out of this world costume box!
