For the 9th collection of AK for VW, Austrian designer Andreas Kronthaler intermixed punk with 19th-century romantics. Billowed sleeves, boxy cuts, and polka dot prints walked across the runway with the gilded interior of Paris’ Hôtel de Ville as the backdrop. Avant-garde headpieces were also featured within AK for VW, including a tower of blossoms that resembled the French flag.
The collection revolved around positivity and diminishing the darkness within wintertime and ourselves. The number 9 itself embodied spiritual awakenings and love, emphasizing Kronthaler’s intentions for his collaboration with Vivienne Westwood.
The Austrian-British fashion pair produced an assemblage of bold colors, asymmetrical silhouettes, and femininity for the Fall/Winter season.
