An experimental diffusion line with an element of anonymity

æstheticterrorists® by walter was an official diffusion line developed by Walter Van Beire

æstheticterrorists® by walter was an official diffusion line developed by Walter Van Beirendonck from 1999 to 2004. It was launched during a period when contractual ties with Mustang restricted commercial activity under his own name, and presented collections under a different name and with a distinct mode of expression from the main collection. The “by walter” designation indicated authorship, while the line continued the use of prints and slogans to convey messages. It has a history of operating alongside other projects under separate names, including W&LT and the store “Walter.”
