FW24 BACKSTAGE « DECADENTIMENT » (the creation of a new word combining the material memory of ‘sentiment’ and the poetic imagery of ‘decadene.’ We fawned over the mossy hues of cordouroy and velvet, amalgamated with draped plaid and loose tailoring.

WALTER VAN BEIRENDONCK
Paris based photographer Yann Militon captures backstage imagery in the wondrous world of Walter Van Beirendonck. Models donned their own music boxes and spoke their truth, moving from room to room in an old Parisian Haussmann building, then moved outside to the streets of Paris for a rainy and rousing presentation that democratized fashion.
“Like David Bowie, I always had a repulsive need to be something more than human.As I pieced all these fragments together,I saw nothing but beauty.”
KIDILL
MERDE kicked off PFW AH24 HOMME with the KIDILL show “WHATEVER HAPPENED TO PUNK” - an homage to designer Hiroaki Sueyasu’s dear late friend, collaborator and punk art legend, Jamie Reid.
MERDE founder Molly Apple had the pleasure of speaking with Hiroaki who said (through his lovely translator) that to him, “punk is a state of mind, it’s an attitude.” His AH24 collection featured iconography of familiar punk icons such as Vivienne Westwood, Andy Warhol, and JPG, not to mention the invitation’s design of Jamie Reid’s artwork. Hiroaki’s show at Carousel du Louvre was both playful and sentimental. He utilized Reid’s “Who Killed Bambi” image throughout the collection in different techniques such as crochet and patchwork. Hiroaki says he designed the collection with “a totally new punk in mind, for the new generation.”
