The first - and definitive - monograph by Belgian fashion designer, artist and Antwerp Six member Dirk Van Saene. 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. The book is available in two different cover designs. The version you receive is selected at random, as intended by Dirk Van Saene.
