“Find me in jungles filled with vine and thorn. Fine me in deserts of baked earth and wind swept hills. Seek me where my foot prints are covered in deepening snow. I am hunter and the provider. I am beauty in movement and majesty in form. I am the crest of nobility and the symbol of strength. I am the Tiger.”
The breakthrough began in Paris in 1999. This fashion world’s darling believe in toys, computer games to trash, American footballers, breaking million fashion rules, themes, volumes, colors, Mc Donald’s Happy Meal figures, novel… Everykind of rules, are assumed to be defied by his ingenious mind. He obviously knows how to confound, ruin, harm, spoil, undermine, corrupt, impair, wreck yet enlighten all those rules. He knows how to mean an egalitarian depiction. He knows the keys to cockeyed world. He knows how to freshen your eyes from dirty underwear to the luxury of limitation.
Strong idea and freedom image is based on all to express something, cutting yourself of completely, being free to do whatever we want.
After you see Bernhard Willhelm’s work then you find love. “Love changes you, and the people around you, and being in love is the best reason to do something.”
And after you love his work, it is possibly for you to believe that beauty is nothing. Strong idea making, the image producing, feeling something and emotion are kinds of thing that are everything.
“Sometimes it's good to show your legs, while other days you might cover them. It's not good to hide yourself all the time. Sometimes you even have to let the ugliness out.”
“Absolutely never. I don't criticize. If people want to look like that, it's fine.”
“I'm really against power dressing. Fashion's too linked with status and money. It's obvious and false. It kills the creativity. It kills everything, even your personality.”
You will love Bernhard. You will and you will.
