Antwerp and fashion go together like cookies and milk.
Antwerp has brought forth some of the world’s most renowned fashion designers. Since the end of the 80s, the Antwerp Six (De Zes van Antwerpen) have transformed Belgian Fashion. The Antwerp Six is commonly used to refer to Antwerp’s most famous fashion designers: Walter Van Beirendonck, Marina Yee, Dirk Bikkembergs, Dries Van Noten, Dirk Van Saene and Ann Demeulemeester.
Dries Van Noten and Ann Demeulemeester have their flagship store in Antwerp. So definitely check them out. While snooping through the many vintage shops the Fashion District has to offer, you’ll definitely bump into some of the other designers’ creations, so keep your eyes peeled.
Drop by the “ModeMuseum” (MoMu) if you want to learn where Antwerp’s fascination with fashion stems from. Besides themed exhibitions, you can visit one of the many events and masterclasses the museum has to offer. MoMu’s “Fashion Walk” and “Museum Night” are surely worth your time.
You’ll also find “Museum Plantin-Moretus” in the fashion district. The museum is dedicated to the history of printing press. It’s part of the UNESCO world heritage sites and definitely worth a visit!
If you’re feeling bold, you should most certainly pay a visit to Antwerp’s “Kammenstraat”. You’ll find some of the trendiest shops and stores Antwerp has to offer. Do you want to get a tattoo or visit a geek store? The “Kammenstraat” has it all!
