A fascinating insight into the stimulating universe of Belgium's
cult fashion designer duo A.F. Vandevorst. A universe of fetishes,
fur, leather, sensual folds and tight straitjackets... That is what
Belgian fashion designers A.F. Vandevorst stand for. This
publication celebrates their twentieth anniversary. An Vandevorst
and Filip Arickx met in 1987, on their first day of school at the
Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. Ten years later, they set up
their company Blixa and presented their first collection as A.F.
Vandevorst in Paris. They have collaborated with such people as the
flamboyant and world-famous hat designer Stephen Jones and have
grown to become one of Belgium's most edgy cult designers, closely
connected to the Antwerp Six (Dries Van Noten, Ann Demeulemeester,
Walter Van Beirendonck ). With fashion shows and flagship stores in
Paris, New York and London, they are much respected internationally
and hugely admired in Japan. A.F. Vandevorst's aesthetics are the
result of their strong love for the visual arts, music and
literature and of their great interest in cultural archetypes. This
book focuses on their diverse inspirations, including Joseph Beuys,
the military and the medical scene, and is a collaboration with
artists to whom An and Filip feel strongly connected. Among them is
Blixa Bargeld (Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds/Einsturzende
Neubauten), who was the source of their first company's name and
has been a big inspiration ever since. Following an intuitive
order, this book gives an intimate, very exciting and stimulating
insight into the fascinating world of A.F. Vandevorst. Be inspired
by twenty years of limitless passion for fashion.
