wunderkind, paris, a/w 2009

just when i thought wunderkind's aesthetic was becoming a little too over-the-top and, like its name implies, sophomoric, designer wolfgang joop released a fun, fabric-mixed and pattern-infused line that reiterated the gray trend in a whimsical way. with kooky tiling and prison stripes taking the eye on a lsd-laced journey, and splashes of color that show no signs of desperation, wunderkind has at once created something that is effortlessly chic and artfully edited (and i'm not gonna lie, the top hat and beret combination made me smile irl).

admittedly, i had a hard time editing myself on this one, but there are some great looks you still haven't seen!
