Bruno Pieters Fall 2009


Bruno Pieters just continuously kills it, season after season. Whether he’s doing sterile basics, sequined shorts or his signature geometric designs… the man seems to be able to do no wrong when it comes to his womenswear. He changes his look up quite frequently but his cuts, stitching and tailoring are so signature that no matter how different one collection is to the next, these elements will always scream Pieters. This season, though, is pretty much on track with last season in many ways and seems like a bit of an expansion on that aesthetic… which is lovely.

I love how flawless his clothing looks. The tailoring on his work is in a league of it’s own; it’s always constructed to absolute perfection. The textures and colors are so rich looking together and then combined with how structured the silhouettes are, it’s all a match made in heaven, really.

Bruno’s got such a unique flair for geometric designs; it never looks arts and crafts-y or like he is trying too hard. He does well by not incorporating accessories and also by going minimal on the styling… it definitely forces the eye to really appreciate his designs as they are – and as they are, they’re just perfect garments.

The way that he does the geometrical stitching patterns and builds upon the exterior of the pieces by creating lovely linear compositions within them give his work such a distinct sharpness that is all his own.
