Bernhard Willhelm AW 08/09 WomenPicked up this insane lookbook last year at Creatures of Comfort [and by insane that refers to the cover page photography, the styling, and the clothing alike]. With collections as ingenious as this, how could anyone ever be unimpressed with the German-born Bernhard Willhelm? He brings us dresses, coats, sweaters, skirts, and dresses with extreme volume and layering that manage to flatter with lines having obviously been placed with a woman’s body in mind. Willhelm is easily synonymous with the words quirky, adventurous, vibrant, and playful but what makes him so brilliant in his designs is the fact that every piece is still very much chic and wearable. It comes as no surprise that this now Paris local received the ANDAM Grand Prize as the most promising talent of the new creative scene.
