Show Off #2

Discovering the Fashion Department of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp

With roughly fifteen students graduating each year from a demanding programme taught by some of Belgium’s top fashion designers, it is hardly surprising that the output of the Antwerp Fashion Academy is closely followed around the world. Show/Off #2 presents a generous, high-quality blend of inspiring fashion, reviews, drawings and interviews, while highlighting the designs from students that have followed the course. Along with a review of the graduate student pieces and accessories, Walther van Beirendonck and Dirk van Saene weigh in with their personal selection of best student designs, and interviews are held with Ann Demeulemeester, Geert Bruloot, Hirofumi Kurino, Suzy Menkes and Peter Philips.
