# Clashing Kaleidoscopic Menswear The Walter Van Beirendonck SS 2014 Collection is Eccentric By Leslie Chen | Published 2013-06-27 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walter-van-beirendonck-ss-2014 References: [fuckingyoung.es](http://fuckingyoung.es/walter-van-beirendonck-springsummer-2014/) & [waltervanbeirendonck](http://www.waltervanbeirendonck.com/) Filled with [clashing patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens) and an array of different colors, the Walter Van Beirendonck SS 2014 collection will make you feel like you've stepped into the fun house of fashion. The designer was inspired by the "home sweet home" theme, using multiple different prints and shades within one design. One of the suits featured in the line includes seven different colors combined together with varying geometric shapes that fit together like an extremely abstract puzzle. The model's hair also matches the eccentricity of the fashion, with glittering gold 'dos instead of the usual blonde or brunette.
