About this Item

Description:

Hardback, 280x200mm, 592 pages Illustrated. English edition. *VERY Fine ! ISBN 9789492677259. Voor het eerst in twintig jaar brengen An Vandevorst en Filip Arickx, samen het ontwerpersduo A.F. Vandevorst, een overzichtsboek uit dat een bijzondere inkijk biedt in hun opwindende universum. Leder, fetisj en strakke uniformen, maar ook kitsch, kunst en sensuele plooien? De wereld van A.F. Vandevorst is eindeloos rijk. In 1987 ontmoeten An Vandevorst en Filip Arickx elkaar op de Antwerpse Academie voor Schone Kunsten. Tien jaar later richten ze hun eigen modelabel op en tonen ze hun eerste collectie in Parijs. Nauw verwant aan de Antwerpse Zes groeiden ze intussen uit tot Belgies meest edgy designerduo met internationale erkenning tot in Rusland en werkten ze samen met de groten der aarde, onder wie de flamboyante hoedenontwerper Stephen Jones. De esthetiek van A.F. Vandevorst is het resultaat van hun sterke liefde voor de beeldende kunst, muziek en literatuur en hun grote interesse in culturele archetypes. Dit boek focust op hun uiteenlopende inspiratiebronnen, zoals Joseph Beuys, de militaire en medische wereld, het uniform en Japan. Ook de invloed van muzikant Blixa Bargeld (Einsturzende Neubauten/Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds) is sterk aanwezig in hun artistieke filosofie. Op een intuitieve manier biedt deze publicatie een bijzonder inspirerende blik op de fascinerende wereld van A.F. Vandevorst. Laat u onderdompelen in twintig jaar grenzeloze passie voor mode en kunst. A fascinating insight into the stimulating universe of Belgium's cult fashion designer duo A.F.Vandevorst. A universe of fetishes, fur, leather, sensual folds and tight straitjackets? That is what Belgian fashion designers A.F.Vandevorst stand for. This publication celebrates their twentieth anniversary. An Vandevorst and Filip Arickx met in 1987, on their first day of school at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. Ten years later, they set up their company Blixa and presented their first collection as A.F.Vandevorst in Paris. They have collaborated with such people as the flamboyant and worldfamous hat designer Stephen Jones and have grown to become one of Belgium's most edgy cult designers, closely connected to the Antwerp Six (Dries Van Noten, Ann Demeulemeester, Walter Van Beirendonck). A.F.Vandevorst's aesthetics are the result of their strong love for the visual arts, music and literature and of their great interest in cultural archetypes. This book focuses on their diverse inspirations, including Joseph Beuys, the military and the medical scene, and other artists An and Filip feel strongly connected to. Among them is Blixa Bargeld (Einstu?rzende Neubauten), who was the sourceof their first company's name and has been a big inspiration ever since. This book gives an intimate, very exciting and stimulating insight into the fascinating world of A.F.Vandevorst. Be inspired by twenty years of limitless passion for fashion. With an introduction by Alix Browne and contributions by a.o. Dries Van Noten, Dirk Braeckman, Tim Blanks, Blixa Bargeld, Hannelore Knuts, Sally Singer, Linda Loppa, Suzy Menkes. 2250 g.
