Samenvatting:

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.
