 Belgian husband and wife team An Vandevorst and Filip Arickx launched their first collection in Paris in 1998 after graduating from the Fashion School of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. They launched a shoe collection in 2003 and naturally segued into lingerie three years later. The pair is known for their deft contrasts in fabrics, textures, and colors, often layering silky lingerie-inspired pieces with tailored jackets, reworked white cotton button-downs, or dramatic capes. The A.F. Vandevorst shoes, just like their garments, are signed with a stitched red cross – a symbol that unites the surgical precision and emotion of their designs. |
