STIJL - 40 Years of Fashion

The latest publication from Zegris Books presents the interwoven stories of iconic Brussels designer store STIJL, the Dansaert neighbourhood in which it sits and Belgian fashion since the store's opening at the time of the Antwerp Six. Published on the occasion of '40+ years of STIJL' at the Brussels Fashion & Lace Museum (18.04.25 - 11.01.26). Through interviews with clients and collaborators and in-depth analyses by Belgium's leading fashion journalists, this book unveils the function of the independent fashion store and highlights a crucial chapter in Belgian fashion history. Imagery spanning forty years brings to life the stores history and the work of designers such as Martin Margiela, Ann Demeulemeester, Dries Van Noten and Rick Owens. Edited by fashion editor Aya Noel (1Granary) and featuring essays by Jesse Brouns, Elisabeth Clauss, Anne-Francoise Moyson and Veerle Windels, the publication is an expression of multilingual Brussels with essays written in a balance of French, Dutch and English.
