The Six

Description

The film examines the collective identity of six influential fashion designers from Antwerp, known as The Antwerp Six, who emerged in the 1980s and made significant contributions to the global fashion scene. Walter Van Beirendonck, Ann Demeulemeester, Dirk Bikkembergs, and Dries Van Noten share their personal narratives and artistic visions, questioning whether their shared label was a true reflection of their experiences or a construct from the outside world. Through interviews and archival footage, the documentary reveals the impact of their avant-garde designs on the fashion industry and their enduring friendship. The cast includes Dirk Van Saene and Marina Yee, who also provide insights into their journeys and the lasting influence they have had on contemporary fashion.
