On the first floor of the 1986 British Designer Show in London, hidden among the bridal gowns, six unknown Flemish designers were discovered almost by chance. Because their names were unpronounceable for the international visitors, someone must have shouted: ‘Come up and see the Six from Antwerp!’
The echo of these words never left the designers. On the contrary, over the years it grew louder and louder, and the Six attained a mythical status. With their worldwide success, Dries Van Noten, Ann Demeulemeester, Dirk Bikkembergs, Walter Van Beirendonck, Dirk Van Saene, and Marina Yee put Belgian fashion on the international map.
In this book, novelist Oscar van den Boogaard reconstructs the rise and dynamics of the Six through intimate conversations with the designers themselves. He weaves their memories and experiences together into a unique biography. IN DUTCH ONLY!
