Early 2000s

Made in Belgium

A kinetic knit bolero by Bernhard Willhelm, combining lime, black, stone, and blue jacquard patterning with the designer’s signature irreverent humor. The cropped open silhouette is formed through extended sleeves that tie at the center front into an exaggerated bow shape, while long blue-and-white woven trims reading “out of bounds” introduce a subversive graphic element. Balancing garment and accessory, the piece reflects Willhelm’s avant-garde approach to proportion, textile experimentation, and visual play.
