Walter Van Beirendonck - Short Video

Skin King

Shirts that send hugs from a loved one, spray-on dresses and semi-living clothes. This is not a scene from a science fiction movie, but from the new video coming soon to the NY BIENNALE ART by Walter Van Beirendock.


The work offers viewers a glimpse into the future of fashion in a world where Biotech and Nanotech are combined with traditional craft and Haute Couture skills.

Walter van Beirendonck promises to show off the most innovative, cutting edge and exciting designers the world has to offer as well as raising issues for global debate, such as the use of tissue culture to produce semi-living clothes.

Science has always been the driving force of fashion. From new dyes to synthetic fabrics, science is constantly driving the changes on the catwalk and in the wardrobe.
