Synopsis
Dirk Bikkembergs, Ann Demeulemeester, Martin Margiela and Dries Van Noten are success stories in the fashion world. Together with a number of other designers, they helped to give Belgian fashion an international presence from the early Eighties onwards. They all have their own individual style; some of them are playful, imaginative or iconoclastic, while others are minimalistic yet luxurious, stylish and sensual. Their original and elegant creations underpinned a new development in the look of fashion. This book uncovers the complex interactions that drive the fashion world, with particular attention paid to the factors underlying the success of contemporary Belgian fashion design.
