Issue No. 65: "Dream the World Awake" - Walter Van Beirendonck

I lifted this entry from ShowStudio's blog. I'll definitely be getting up at 5 am tomorrow to watch this exciting event. I find Walter Van Beirendonck to be one of the most exciting people in fashion in the way he continues to defy the conventions of male beauty. He uses dark, hairy, bearded male models who are often considered fat and undesirable by the standards of the mainstream of the fashion industry.  Here's what ShowStudio says:

From Monday morning catch all the action live from the set as we stream Nick Knight's latest shoot, capturing Walter Van Beirendonck's iconic archive on film for the pages of GQ Style and the catalogue to accompany Van Beirendonck's long-awaited retrospective at Antwerp's MoMu. With the legendary Simon Foxton styling the looks on a veritable army of male models (a dozen at last count!) get ready for two days of frenetic action and fluorescent fashion in vibrant motion.
Our live Walter Van Beirendonck shoot, Dream The World Awake will be broadcasting from 11:00 BST next Monday and Tuesday, 23-24 May 2011.
