Antwerp Query

[rusnon]

Hey everyone,

im going to Antwerp on a very brief excursion in a day or so, basically if i could get some recommendations for some stores, im into labels like Raf Simons, Undercover Number (N)ine etc, if there are any stores that stock smaller Belgian of Japanese import designers id be particularly curious about that

Any other interesting tips would be great as well!

Cheers

See [thread]3641[/thread] and Superfuture's very own Antwerp shop list.

Try walking around the Kammenstraat area and hit up Labels Inc.

Antwerp is my favorite city. Do yourself a favor and forget all this N(N) shit for a day (besides, there is nothing there that you can't get from Japan cheaper). Check out big and small Belgian designers - they are the best in the world, and you'll see stuff that you probably won't be able to get anywhere else.

The store that carries Raf Simons is called Louis.

Here is a pretty comprehensive list. It misses some key stores like Louis and Walter.

P.S. And drink some Belgian beer!

In the Comme des Garçons/Junya Watanabe/Yohji Yamamoto shop, there's a corner named the Black Box where you can find a good selection of N(N) & Undercover (19 Maria Theresialei).

But Faust is right, you're in Antwerp so go Raf/Ann/Dries/Walter/Stephan/Martin/Véronique!
