It’s said that the role of the court jester is to speak the truth that other people fear to utter, which is something thatknows a thing or two about. At first glance, he’s the stern-faced Hell’s Angel making playful clothes , while his generation-spanning rainbow cult of devotees understand that the complexities of Van Beirendonck’s designs thread deeper than their surface level oddity.
