He is -amongst a lot of other things- the original high end sneaker designer.
No disrespect, but he was headlining this thing long before Lanvin, Kris Van Assche, Marc Jacobs & Louie V.
So I'll be wearing these. Because I know how his shoes fit.
How his clothes fit.
(Walter was also one of the first couture designers to start affordable lines for youngsters. And I mean affordable as in cheaper than Miu Miu & Marc by Marc Jacobs).
My vintage W.&L.T. and æstheticterrorists pieces are stacked archived in my mom's attic.
Fluo orange & green lightning bolts on the best denim jackets, one-sleeved shirts & knitwear, handbags and the best sneakers.
Sneakers as in (this was 1996-7-8 people) black and army green high tops on a fluo orange sole, white high tops on a glow-in-the-dark sole, white sneakers with beaks on a red sole.
I'm so glad he's back at it.
When in Antwerp, visit his beautiful shop -he is one of the busiest men in fashion (he heads the Antwerp Design School + Scapa Sports + designs Lil KNOTORYUS' wardrobe + concocts his own line) - but you will still often find him at the W.A.L.T.E.R. store, eager to help out.
