In his twentieth show and collection under his own name, Kris Van Assche explores the idea of illusion to its fullest. Playing on his signature ‘hybrid’ silhouettes, the designer explores youthful codes of rebellion in clothing, transposing and transforming their meanings and showing them in the process of growth and change in a collection about youthful rites of passage.

The late eighties and early nineties classics and clichés of youth culture are reflected and remixed in the collection, a time of gilded youth but not necessarily one of nostalgia. Instead, for the twentieth Kris Van Assche show and collection, there is a looking back twenty years to look forward optimistically to the next twenty.
