MoMu in Antwerp is hosting its first exhibition dedicated to the iconic Antwerp Six, celebrating their 40-year impact on fashion. This group of six talented designers, who graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in the 1980s, has not only transformed the fashion world but has also left a lasting influence on Belgian culture, including the football culture in Antwerp.

The Antwerp Six, featuring names like Ann Demeulemeester, Dries Van Noten, and Walter Van Beirendonck, became renowned for their unique styles and innovative designs. Their influence can be felt in the streets of Antwerp, where fashion and football meet. Supporters of Royal Antwerp FC, for example, have developed their own style that reflects the flair of the Antwerp Six, leading to a unique blend of sport and fashion in the city.

The exhibition showcases not only their iconic creations but also the history of the Antwerp Six, including their legendary road trip to London in 1986, which gave their careers an undeniable boost. It is a tribute to their contributions to the fashion industry and to the city of Antwerp, where creativity and sport converge. This exhibition offers both fashion enthusiasts and football supporters a chance to explore the rich history of this influential group and celebrate their enduring impact on the culture of Antwerp.
