The Tom Van der Borght Fall/Winter 2013/2014 collection highlights the designer's signature over-the-top style aesthetic. The eccentric visionary pays homage to a mash-up of visual themes and inspirations for this collection that range from tribal and rural styling to urban apocalypse imagery. Clad in a wardrobe of graffiti-clad garments, models took to the runway stage in a non-traditional presentation that stunned an audience of onlookers.
In addition to a series of urban and cultural themes, the Tom Van der Borght Fall/Winter 2013/2014 collection paid homage to the intricate and lifelike
engravings from Renaissance era artist Albrecht Durer along with the psychedelic masterpieces from the designer's own partner, painter Johannes Obers.
This daring and visually vivid runway show shines a light on oversized outerwear silhouettes, textural rope knits, athleticwear sets and Geisha inspired footwear that is paired with sculptural headpiece accessories.
