Celebrating 40 years of the Antwerp Six and their enduring impact on fashion

Dirk Bikkembergs. Ann Demeulemeester. Walter Van Beirendonck. Dries Van Noten. Dirk Van Saene. Marina Yee. Forty years ago, these six young designers shot to fashion fame. It was the press that coined the name ‘The Antwerp Six’ for them, as they were all recent graduates of the city’s Royal Academy of Fine Arts. Radical and unique, they put Antwerp on the world fashion map. Essays by leading fashion experts alongside an unrivalled selection of images highlight their individual journeys and enduring influence. An indispensable reference work on creativity, daring and innovation in fashion.
