The Antwerp Six: a unique fashion exhibition at MoMu Antwerp

Forty years of Antwerp fashion history

Forty years ago, a group of Antwerp designers sparked a true revolution in the international fashion world. Today, MoMu Antwerp presents for the first time an exhibition entirely dedicated to their work, influence, and exceptional careers.

The exhibition The Antwerp Six takes visitors through the story of six visionary designers who put Antwerp on the global fashion map and continue to have a lasting impact on the international fashion sector.

The designers who made Antwerp world-famous

In 1986, Dirk Bikkembergs, Ann Demeulemeester, Walter Van Beirendonck, Dries Van Noten, Dirk Van Saene, and Marina Yee traveled together to the British Designer Show in London. Their innovative collections immediately attracted international attention and marked the beginning of an extraordinary success story.

Their creative vision, innovative designs, and independent approach made Antwerp one of the most important fashion cities in the world.

A unique behind-the-scenes look

During the exhibition, you will discover not only iconic creations but also gain insight into the creative process, the sources of inspiration, and the influence these designers have had on various generations of fashion designers.

From avant-garde designs and historical pieces to never-before-seen archival materials: this exhibition offers a comprehensive overview of their artistic legacy.
