"6+ Antwerp Fashion" Exhibition

Finished

Artists

Dirk Bikkembergs, Ann Demeulemeester, Dries Van Noten, Martin Margiela, Raf Simons, Veronique Branquinho, A.F. Vandevorst et al.

Antwerp gained overnight recognition as a major center for fashion in the 1980s with the emergence of the "Antwerp Six." That success was grounded in the comprehensive education provided by the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, collaborations with photographers, stylists and makeup artists in building a coherent image, and the powerful sense of identity possessed by each individual designer.

This is the first exhibition in Japan to explore the attraction and creativity of Antwerp fashion. It covers the Antwerp Six (including Dirk Bikkembergs, Ann Demeulemeester, and Dries Van Noten) and Martin Margiela, who represent the first generation, and also second and third generation designers such as Raf Simons, Veronique Branquinho, and A.F. Vandevorst.
