Walter van Beirendonck's Summer collection is all about the bear pride

Walter van Beirendonck, who is tied with Baroque artist Hendrick Ter Brugghen for coolest Dutch name, unveiled his Summer collection in Paris a few days ago. Fashion buffs know that Beirendonck always delivers color, sex and fun in his shows. Just look at his previous collections: eXplicit, sexclown, and gender?.

Uh. Maze. Eeng.

So when a call for "bear" models started to circulate this past Spring, we knew something great was in the works.

The collection is stunning and more wearable than previous collections, perhaps because Beirendonck is designing for a real body-type: his own!

Personally I think it's brilliant. Bears are an untapped market and Bierendonck makes bear fashion appealing and sex-sex-sexy! I swoon for each and every one of these models.

Beirendonck for LIFE!

BTW: Where can I get those sneaks, Walter? You wanna send some to the The Gay Place c/o The Austin Chronicle. I'm a size 9.5 US.
