‘In 2357, 300 years after the death of Walter Van Beirendonck in 2057,’aliens’ discover his tomb’.

  • Tube-clothes from Walter’s guardians-referring to the upcoming collection ‘Glow’
  • The Walter-sarcophagus
  • The content of the sarcophagus:
      * Transparant Blow-Up-Walter-figure
      * Walter’s lycra-‘skin’/printed with all names off his collections
