#KrisVanAssche, the rigorous #Belgian who #designs #DiorHomme, erected a funfair at the center of the label’s #Spring2017 show. Why not? “It’s the Sinksenfoor,” said he, referencing an #Antwerp institution. “When I was a kid in Antwerp, we used to love going to the funfair, all these new wave kids, these punk kids.”
But really, that funfair was a giant neon red-herring. Van Assche wasn’t about to clown it out, but rather used the flashing lights and helter-skeltering metal as a backdrop to a collection that was physically dark, if not metaphorically. It was all about the contrast.
