This Label was created by An Vandervorst and Filip Arickx who are husband and wife. They both graduated from the Fashion School of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. Their first collection came out in 1998 in Paris and they then launched a shoe collection in 2003 and a lingerie line in 2006. They use a lot of contrasting fabrics in texture and color. Lingerie is used a lot in their shows covered up with very tailored coats large capes.
Spring Runway 2011
Slinky almost chain-metal-like dress, good example of interesting texture. Gladiator sandals look great, the necklace is nice, i love the construction. I really want to learn how to make that type of sleeves. The entire construction of the whole dress is really great:)
Not entirely understanding the flag...? If anyone does, I'd LOVE to know. The slinky leggings are prevalent in this show. It's a very distinct texture difference from the light-weight dress. I love all the grey, but I'm addicted to grey clothing.... haha
This is an example of the very tailored jacket over something less shaped. The silver dress isn't exactly lingerie, but it's definitely very different from the architectural jacket in both texture and color. A very interesting construction, I really really like it.
I LOVE THIS JACKET!!! Just finished helping make a jacket for the current play at my college, and I now have a HUGE appreciation for coats. There is a lot of hand sewing in them. I just love the cleanliness of this one with the tone changes and overall I'm a sucker for trenches.
Beautiful dress, I love how much silver is in this show. Kind of on the thin side so I guess borderline lingerie..? Still really pretty:):)
Yellow all over:) Same necklace as before. The construction of the dress almost reminds me of a sari??
Neck collar and sari bit again with slightly different gladiator sandals. The grays are lighter and I love the print. Still has the blending tones thing going on from the coat.
I liked the tailoring the most in this designer, and the contrasts. They contrasts were never too much to handle and always looked very elegant and put together which I think is very difficult to do. I dunno about the slinky leggings... haha but the dresses and coats I very much enjoyed:)
It's good to be back:)
