Walter Van Beirendonck Fall/Winter 2026
by Felipe Castro
Walter Van Beirendonck‘s Fall/Winter 2026-2027 collection, SCARE the CROW / SCARECROW, is inspired by the designer’s deep love for Art Brut and the pure hope and raw energy from childhood; the tension between aggression and tenderness. The show opened with a motorcycle with flowers and guns covered in yellow-colored protective sheets like the ones placed over sculptures and items we desire to preserve, showing us how, in this collection, covers become fabrics and bodies are moving underneath. The youth of today can be described through this collection, through a vocabulary of contradiction. The creative director makes a statement about youth being for real, presented with t-shirts that ask “HI THERE, ARE YOU FR?” to represent the current tendency of dismissing new generations.
DIY plastic artillery with flowers created a visual contrast to what youth are being faced with. Knitwear holds on to memories inspired by war carpets used as keepsakes of stories we can’t afford to forget. Fine tailoring meets technical fabrics, with British wool being combined with nylon and plastics. Intentional colors caught all our attention, as well as belts, sleeves, 3D birds, guns, and blooms that can be removed, rearranged, and recombined to keep us in contradiction. Pure creativity shines as children’s unfiltered ways of thinking, pouring feelings into drawings, words, objects, and especially in Walter’s case, clothes. The collection reflects the designer’s love for André Robillard’s work: guns made out of scraps, mirroring the current climate of the world and how youth, regardless of their knowledge or innocence, are bound to face it.
