Like a multi-disciplinary atlas, this art book reveals the lyrical and surrealist unseen behind the work of Dirk Van Saene. Beyond a retrospective, it’s an intuitive journey through the world this master of taste and craft has tailor-made across decades – offering a richly textured view of a complete, nonconformist artist. A look at a storied career lived his own way — from the Antwerp Fashion Department halls to the Antwerp Six pantheon, conceptual runway presentations, faculty lectures and most prestigious art galleries of today. Non-chronological by design, the book weaves together Van Saene’s runway shows, behind-the-scenes stories, the cult boutiques, coveted artefacts, collaborations, landmark experiments and deeply personal inspirations and recollections.
Dirk Van Saene (b. 1959) is a Flemish fashion designer who works and lives in Antwerp and gained recognition as one of the Antwerp Six. In addition to the fashion collections he releases under his own name (sold in his own store), he teaches fashion design at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, also known as the Antwerp Fashion Academy.
