W&LT SS/96 Dark Blue Cycling Shirt

This rare dark blue cycling shirt originates from Walter Van Beirendonck's W&LT subline, featured in the Spring/Summer 1996 'Paradise Pleasure Production' collection. A runway piece that exemplifies the avant-garde aesthetic of mid-90s Belgian fashion design, this garment represents a pivotal moment in contemporary menswear when sportswear silhouettes merged with high-fashion sensibilities. The cycling shirt's streamlined cut and technical fabric reflect the era's fascination with performance wear reimagined through a conceptual lens.
