Vandevorst, and Bernhard Willhelm, is part of the “Second Wave” of internationally renowned Belgium designers who came from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and transformed Antwerp into a new fashion capital. In 1998, the United States recognized her as the “Best New Designer” at the VH1 Fashion Awards. In Italy, Ruffo Research chose Veronique Branquinho and Raf Simons to design their collection. Two years later, she held an exhibition at Fashion Institute of Technology of New York and was awarded the Moët Fashion Award. In 2003, she broadened her vision with menswear and defintively established her label with the opening of her first flagship store in Antwerp. In 2005, she became the Chair—joining an illustrious group of designers such as Westwood, Castelbajac, and Lang—of the Fashion Department at the University of Applied Arts – Vienna. Her collections are sold all around the world. Today, she is the guest curator of the next issue of A Magazine, a unique fashion magazine that emphasizes individuality against homogenisation. In A MAGAZINE #6 Veronique stays faithful to the themes that have dominated her work since the start, giving this issue a clear Branquinho signature. She likes what she describes as frozen images, such as the opening shot of ‘As Black as Midnight on a Moonless Night’: Snow White’s blood-red apple pierced with a rusty nail. Or the naked girl on the cliffs somewhere in the north of France, her face hidden behind a mask of owl feathers. She wears a transparent cape that no longer conceals as capes normally do, the image therefore gaining a paradoxical erotic twist. These pictures are invariably both fragile and cruel. They suggest beauty with a dark undercurrent. This duality is a constant in Veronique’s world: attracting and rejecting, playing and pushing away again. Things are never what they seem. The smoke, to be found in several images, sometimes as a kind of mist or haze, then again as cigarette smoke partially hiding a woman’s face, seduces and shrouds and, above all, never telling the whole story. A MAGAZINE #6 will be available during the event in Miami. Concept : Veronique Branquinho Design : Paul Boudens On The Runway by Cathy Horyn - October 4, 2007 A casualty of too much continental kissing and contagious salons, I haven’t been operating on all cylinders. Bernard Alloux did his part to repair the problem, bringing me a gateau pomme, and as we streamed into the traffic of the Rue Etienne Marcel, through the Sentier and into the Marais, where I had an appointment with Veronique Branquinho, I polished off the cake and put away further thought of a hand-span waist. Where do our thoughts go when we have no more use for them? That line, offered by Diana Trilling in a long piece about her impressionable experiences as a girl at summer camp, has stuck in my mind.

    Issue: Fashion Industry Fashion Industry By: Vickie Elmer Pub. Date: January 16, 2017 Access Date: October 1, 2021 DOI: 10.1177/237455680302.n1 Source URL: http://businessresearcher.sagepub.com/sbr-1863-101702-2766972/20170116/fashion-industry ©2021 SAGE Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved. ©2021 SAGE Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Can it adapt to changing times? Executive Summary The global fashion business is going through a period of intense change and competition, with disruption coming in many colors: global online marketplaces, slower growth, more startups and consumers who now seem bored by what once excited them. Many U.S. shoppers have grown tired of buying Prada and Chanel suits and prefer to spend their money on experiences rather than clothes. Questions about fashion companies’ labor and environmental practices are leading to new policies, although some critics remain unconvinced. Fashion still relies on creativity, innovation and consumer attention, some of which comes from technology and some from celebrities. Here are some key takeaways: High-fashion brands must now compete with “fast fashion,” apparel sold on eBay and vintage sites. Risk factors for fashion companies include China’s growth slowdown, reduced global trade, Brexit, terrorist attacks and erratic commodity prices. Plus-size women are a growing segment of the market, yet critics say designers are ignoring them. Overview José Neves launched Farfetch during the global economic crisis of 2008, drawing more on his background in IT and software than a love of fashion. His idea: Allow small designers and fashion shops to sell their wares worldwide on a single online marketplace. The site will “fetch” fashion from far-off places.

  • Total Work of Fashion: Bernhard Willhelm and the Contemporary Avant-Garde
    TOTAL WORK OF FASHION: BERNHARD WILLHELM AND THE CONTEMPORARY AVANT-GARDE CHARLENE KAY LAU A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN ART HISTORY AND VISUAL CULTURE YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO April 2016 © Charlene Kay Lau, 2016 ii Abstract In fashion discourse, the term “avant-garde” is often applied to garments that fall outside of the mainstream fashion, whether experimental, conceptual or intellectual. However, such usage overlooks the social and political aims of the historical, artistic avant-gardes. Through an examination of the contemporary avant-garde fashion label Bernhard Willhelm – led by designers Bernhard Wilhelm and Jutta Kraus – this dissertation reconnects the historical or original vanguard and its revolutionary potential and proposes that Bernhard Willhelm belongs to an emerging, contemporary narrative of the avant- garde that intersects with fashion. In this study, I analyze Willhelm and Kraus’s collections, ephemera, runway presentations, exhibitions, online media, fashion films and critical reception from the brand’s inception in 1999 to 2016. Firstly, I develop the notion of “fashion-time” and contend that Willhelm and Kraus’s designs reject accelerated change, oscillating between the temporalities of fashion and anti-fashion and fashion and art. Secondly, I argue that the designers devise a political fashion, one that simultaneously critiques global politics and challenges norms in the fashion system. Thirdly, I assert that enduring collaboration with other cultural producers underpins Willhelm and Kraus’s work. The interdisciplinarity born of their collective work informs their spectacular visual language, the of sum of which I term a “total work of fashion.” By exploring these tenets of Willhelm and Kraus’s practice, I demonstrate that the avant- garde project is dynamic and in constant flux, at times incorporating dialectical facets that continually expand the disciplines of fashion and art.
