CAMPER TOGETHER WITH BERNHARD WILLHELM
2009-04-13The new To & Ether collection from Camper, points directly at the avant-garde of alternative fashion. The unique signature of Bernhard Willhelm, the outstanding disciple of the prestigious school in Antwerp and the same school that in the 80´s formed talents like Dries Van Noten, Ann Demeulemeester, Dirk Bikkembergs, Dirk Van Saene and Martin Margiela (the generation known as the “Antwerp six”).
Willhelm has designed shoe collections for both men and women. Moccasins and sandals fabricated with handcrafted techniques and recycled materials, hand sewn, coloured felts with rubber soles. The innovation is also illustrated simply, with actual traits of common sense. “I wanted to apply ethical and ecological criteria in the making of this shoe collection. I would like people to keep these criteria in mind when they are choosing a shoe”. Willhelm’s designs are added to those that Jaime Hayon, Alfredo Häberli and Maria Blaisse have developed “together” within Camper’s new creative adventure.
