Walter Van Beirendonck — the eternal wizard of color, shape, and unapologetic fashion anarchy — takes us behind the scenes where all the real magic happens. The Fall/Winter 2026 backstage action, shot by photographer Marc Medina via Paris Fashion Week exclusively for FY Magazine!, is a full‑blown sensory overload in the best way possible.
Backstage, Walter’s world is alive: models buzzing in sculptural silhouettes, makeup teams painting bold statements, and racks of explosive color waiting to hit the runway.
Medina’s lens captures the raw electricity — the fittings, the final tugs, the quiet moments before the storm, and the signature Van Beirendonck energy that feels like stepping into a living comic book.
Fresh music, bold entertainment, and men’s fashion—one tight email a week.
FW26 continues Walter’s legacy of fearless experimentation: graphic prints, surreal proportions, and that unmistakable blend of humor and rebellion. Backstage, you see the craftsmanship up close — the textures, the stitching, the sculptural forms that make his work instantly recognizable.
It’s chaotic. It’s joyful. It’s Walter.
