This groundbreaking artist’s book and monograph, published by Imschoot, offers an in-depth look at the audacious and boundary-defying work of Belgian fashion designer Walter Van Beirendonck and his "Wild and Lethal Trash" aesthetic. Mutilate chronicles over a decade of Van Beirendonck's over-the-top women's and men's collections, as well as his ambitious projects that draw inspiration from diverse references ranging from Godzilla to the provocative works of Orlan.
True to Van Beirendonck’s radical spirit, this meticulously crafted, spiral-bound book is a tactile work of art in itself, featuring intricate die-cut designs, embossing, and fold-out plates. It also includes stunning photography by celebrated photographers like Jean-Baptiste Mondino, Carel Fonteyne, and Juergen Teller.
