Agenda-setting intelligence, analysis and advice for the global fashion community.
A Sunday morning in early June. Raf Simons, co-creative director of Prada, is in Milan. Pieter Mulier, creative director of Alaïa, is in Antwerp. I’m in London. We can see each other. We’re going to talk about Belgium, which, I realise now, has insinuated itself into my life in ways I’d never truly registered: through the sounds of New Beat and R&S Records; through the art of Ensor, Borremans and Spilliaert; through the films of the Dardenne Brothers, and the stupendous doc by Johan Grimonprez “Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat,” and, through decades of the clothes on my back, a fair number of which came from these two. So let’s talk.
