Ill say this, some of the pants and shoes were pretty dope. I've gotta say tho, the quilted neon and pastel oversized jackets and bright colored coveralls really turned me off. It seemed a lot of these guys were not happy with what they were put in.
@burbeary82 mike, you have to pick and choose what you like out of it! i personally like a lot of it, and that's rare for me to like super haute couture stuff.. but yeah the kix are dope
@hairyreddick It's not part of a traditional anti-fashion bear mentality, but it's cool. He can appropriate the bear look if he wants to. Good for him. But I'm still a bear type and not into fashion. So fuck me.
@Majesticon Maybe we should differentiate between bear-fashion and bear-identity. Or maybe "bear culture" is so completely integrated into overall "gay" culture now that it's meaningless as a reaction to fashion-oriented homo lifestyles.
this clothes line lookes retarded....I mean WTF......quilted pastel jacket over shorts.....are you serious...most of these guys look like they cant wait to get off the runway.....like "Shit I hope no one I know sees me in these...LOL
It's fantastically creative, boundary pushing and edgy... You might not want to wear a whole runway look... but the majority of the pieces are fantastic. Since when do high end designers cater for big men, usually never! I've been buying bits and pieces of his since 2001 W.&.L.T and quite a bit i still have AND wear. back then he was praised as the new 'Gaultier', the infant terrible of fashion, Thank god for people like him putting some fun, and energy into fashion

what is this "bear have to wear this, and can not wear this" business, people can wear whatever they want, and labels are what you are assumed of them...they look great, colorful, interesting, expressive... and it makes a nice statement and contrast that fashion is for everybody and anyone can be a "model"....
Hmm, well, I really enjoyed this. I'm a fan of bright colors and it was nice to see what is stereotyped as a "bear" wearing them instead of in...leather, lol. I guess I just really enjoyed the color palette and those jackets. Oh, and I thought some of the guys were attractive. ;-)
If I walked into the Lone Star (Bear Bar in San Francisco) and saw a bar full of bears actually wearing any of this I would RUN screaming and never return! EVER
I live in the UK and getting anything Walter is a huge pain in the ass. I have a few pieces from this collection - but I am planning a trip to Belgium purposely to buy some of the pieces I can't get. Love the show - LOVE the men!
I have loved Walter van B since "Wild and Lethal Trash" Days , Always on the edge of fashion with humour and wit, thanks for for the hot hairy eye candy Walter. Fabulous
I would not wear these clothes even if they paid me. However, I don't doubt that many people probably love them and I respect their taste in clothes. That being said, I think the guys are very hot. All of us are entitled to our taste and opinion. There is no need to knock anyone down or be judgmental!
You have gone too far. You have married Fester, you have destroyed his spirit, you have taken him from us. All that I could forgive. But Debbie... pastels?!?
I wish someone would show up in my old neighborhood wearing that. He'd make Yahoo! News for sure. I wonder how many people it would take, in the emergency room, to get his pastel sportcoat out of his ***, where it would get wadded up and shoved. *ROTFLMAO*
I'm all in favor of designers coming out with real clothes, but to show off garbage like this and have people swoon, just because the person has notoriety as a designer makes me think of the story "The Emperor's New Clothes."
As a man who is into men and masculinity, I find the totality of bear culture to be ludicrous and inane. Serious men don't spend time on shit like this.
then go chop wood and dip skoal and don't waste your time looking this up on the internet. Being masculine has nothing to do with activities and interests.
why are people so stuck in boring gender roles assigned to them by their christian conservative parents?
Just because the bear culture is something you don't understand, doesn't mean you should be ugly. You might as well be a republican with an attitude like that!
Learn something about fashion, and don't ask your Dad. He's probably one of those tragic 48 year old guys still trying to squeeze into A+F to score 23 year olds at the club.
My dads are 53 and 57 and they care nothing about fashion. They shop at Goodwill and thrift stores and are obsessed with being thrifty. They are intellectuals with PHDs and they mostly care about gardening, and don't goto clubs. I believe they have the same distaste for bear and mainstream gay culture that I do.
It's interesting what your own internalized homophobia has compelled you to project about my parents.
Actually, I don't think my beard is deficient at all, and I have plenty of chest hair. But even if I didn't, I still would behooved to think critically about bear culture. The value of my criticism wouldn't have anything to do with what kind of bodytype I had.
Why would you make someone dress like that in public? It is cruel. The models are clearly distraught about being dressed like three-year-olds with spectacularly tasteless parents.
Hey... if you don't like the fashion then don't buy it. The appearance of demeanor of the models is probably not accidental. The fashions are visionary and forward-thinking. It's not about wearability, it's about art and show! go hate somewhere else and enjoy your disposable clothing that you buy from Kohls!
No, it looks like something a young child from the XTREME dayglo early 90ss would be wearing (except the fabric is less attractive), so it's a little closer to backward-thinking.
And it's *repetitive*, so it doesn't even have the creativity factor going for it. After the first like two and a half minutes, every piece is a recombination or different color of something that came before it.
If this "art" were on a canvas, it would've flunked someone out of their Foundations of Painting course.
There is a theme to the pieces. It's not just random... it goes together.
It's ok. You can have you clothes anyway you like them.... but you don't have to be negative towards someone else. I don't see your summer line available on the internet!
As a model that took part in this show, I was not distraught. Please don't make passing comments like that when you know nothing about the people who took part in the show!!
Do your homework, folks - WvB wanted bear models. After all, he is in the real world, it seems - everybody wants to look good and fashionable. Personally, I like the concept, although the collection is not one of his strongest, agreed.
And thank you - now I have an argument! People have been trying to call me a bear for over a decade and I keep telling them I'm not. Now I can say with authority that I know I'm not because I don't pronate when I walk! YAY!
