It was difficult to tell what was going on at Bernard Willhelm, but there was a lot of greenery.

He used oak leaf headpieces, habanero pepper necklaces, baby onion wreaths woven through his models’ hair, goldenrod millinery—the list goes on and on; it was more than a little distracting. Between the vibrancy of the neo-hippie clothes and the vegetarian theme, there was inexplicable cornucopia (sorry, I had to do it!) of color, flora, and fauna.

Flower-children met Paris fashion in Willhelm’s draped and flowing collection. There were hints of tie-dye along with the blast of brightness and I guess, if you took each piece without the styling, it could be cute.

The whole collection should’ve echoed the sensibility of the last look. It felt design-y and fashion-y, while the rest just sort of felt, well, tossed together.

Anyone who reads Fashionista will know that our crushes are simple and finite:

We love Kate Moss, Agyness Deyn, Gemma Ward, Johnny Depp, Sofia Coppola, Luella Bartley, Phoebe Philo, Irina, you, Henry Holland, The Rolling Stones, and the fashion photographer Nick Knight, whose clients include Burberry, McQueen, and most of British Vogue.

So of course, we’re a little excited, because although we’ve met almost everyone on that above list (still waiting on Phoebe, Johnny, and 1 of the Stones…) we’ve never even seen Nick Knight in person… until now.

The ShowStudio founder comes to town on Friday, February 1 to debut a film with the menswear designer Bernard Wilhelm. The project presents Wilhelm’s Fall ‘08 collection, and premiers at the Tribeca Grand Hotel.

Its theme, according to Knight, is Men In Tights, which goes anywhere from Robin Hood to Centerstage or Miuccia Prada’s recent runway outing of guys in skirts.

Who’s psyched?
