Since the early 1980’s, the Antwerp Fashion Department has been known at an international level as a place for creativity, taste and ambition. Its unique vision has made it a place where young hopefuls and industry professionals alike flock to be inspired and motivated by the next generation of fashion creatives. The Fashion Department is proud to send off a new influx of talent into the world every year like the world-famous Antwerp Six, A.F. Vandevorst, Veronique Branquinho, Christian Wijnants, Bruno Pieters, Haider Ackermann, Kris Van Assche and the more recent alumni such as Demna Gvasalia (soon with Gucci after Balenciaga), Glenn Martens (Maison Margiela & Diesel), Rushemy Botter, Virginia Burlina (LOEWE), Natalia Culebras (DIOR), Minju Kim, Shuting Qiu, Meryll Rogge, Sabrina Pfattner (Dries Van Noten), Florentina Leitner, Niels Peeraer, Giorgia Galfré (Louis Vuitton) and many others.

As from 2022, Brandon Wen has been appointed as the new creative director of the Antwerp Fashion Department. With his energy and creative vision, we will continue the enormous legacy of the department culminating in this years’ SHOW and EXPO. 

What began as a small year-end presentation within the Academy's walls, the annual, ever-surprising SHOW in June emerged as an indispensable tradition for some 5,000 fashion lovers, representatives of major fashion houses and other industry insiders.
