  • In this video I interview Walter Van Beirendonck on a wide range of topics including the Antwerp 6, the controversy with Virgil Abloh & Louis Vuitton, his time at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp, Belgium in the 80s, Martin Margiela, Demna Gvaslia's time as a student, copying, ownership in fashion and much much more.

    This is actually insane, the legendary Walter being interviewed for 50 minutes? Nah, Ayo, what a feat man. Congrats and thank you for always bringing us premium content.

      @@kultw1837 I work for VISITFLANDERS and together with the city of Antwerp we invited Bliss and Odunayo to Antwerp to cover the our fashion heritage. Their content is so good it was actually a no-brainer and we are so happy with the end result!

    As a fellow African, this warms my heart so much. We've seen Ayo stick with his guts and create his own path in this world of fashion. Thank you so much for being an inspiration to my fashion journey as well. We'll cross paths one day.

    Incredible interview. I'm glad that I just came upon it. I hope that you will also interview the others of the Antwerp 6.
    I've been a big fan of the Antwerp 6 since the beginning and have been visiting Belgium since the mid-70s. I noticed the Antwerp 6 in the 80s. I have worn Anne, Dries, and Dirk Bikkembergs. I still have my Dirk B jacket from the 90s and also have started shopping Dries more again especially since now we have the flagship Dries boutique here in L.A. It's all about availability of fashion items. I prefer not having to shop such pieces online. I used to shop them in Europe, but although I was last there in 2019, unfortunately I didn't shop the Antwerp 6. Next time, I'll put my focus back on them.
    Greetings from Los Angeles

    @SD-wf9xq 3 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Wow! Walter seems incredibly down to earth. His energy/aura is one of a kind. He just seems like a great design role model. I’ve always had respect for him but this has honestly made me love him! I’m in awe!!
    Also, the sound honestly isn’t that bad - just a slight echo. It’s more so when you speak as you project your voice whereas, Walter hardly has an echo. If you guys are supposedly “struggling” you can use CC 🙂👍🏾
    Fantastic interview, more to come I’m sure !!

    • @FashionRoadman
      @FashionRoadman  3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Unfortunately we could only do the interview at the Antwerp fashion academy which is terrible for sound. Despite using a microphone there is no remedy for an extremely large room with hard walls, always going to have an echo unfortunately

    It's so disheartening to hear the passion and genuine energy / hard work walter puts into his collections -- dying and weaving fabrics etc. -- and see someone like Virgil Abloh rip him off and continue to receive praise and accolades for consistent plagiarized mediocrity. Especially when he tries to communicate how "no one owns ideas" through his collections but tries to trademark quotations and sue on behalf of Off-White. Would love for him and his fans to look into some Lockean labor theory of property.

    I agree that copying without permission is weak. It’s especially weak when big fashion houses do it. It’s not fair to the amateur designer. You can collaborate, buy the rights or license, or you can offer the designer a job, but just flat out copying is weak.
