OC x PFW: Bernhard Willhelm FW12

For his Fall/Winter 2012 show, Bernhard Willhelm presented an exuberant collection of juicy colors, animal prints, major-impact typography and symbols, and trailing rope. The show's soundtrack, which started with a moody, Nine Inch Nails-like throb before breaking into rainforest rave mode, couldn't have been a more perfect accompaniment to the turbo-charged-with-attitude models. With their half-painted faces, their sculptural feats of hairstyles, and the literal messages stamped all over them ("GIVE ME YOUR BODY" on leggings, "TRANSIT" on layered pieces), it was loud and clear that it was their way or the highway. Peep some of our favorite looks and a few backstage snaps below.
