A.F. Vandevorst . Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Berlin A/W 2011/12 19.1.2011

An Vandevorst and Filip Arickx meet in 1987, on their first school day at the Royal 
Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. Ten years later they set up their company Blixa and present their first collection as A.F. VANDEVORST in Paris.

The current A.F. VANDEVORST line is a complete women's ready-to-wear line comprising shoes, lingerie, bags and accessories. The ready-to-wear collection is developed and produced with Belgian manufacturers from inception with specific outsourcing in Turkey for certain categories (Jersey). Shoes and accessories are developed and manufactured in Italy. In January 2006 A.F. VANDEVORST presents a lingerie and beachwear collection. This collection is manufactured in France and is to be regarded as a research into the classic traditions of 'corsetterie'.

A.F. VANDEVORST shows twice a year during the Paris fashion week and, in addition, presents all new collections equally in its own showrooms in Antwerp, Paris, Milan, Tokyo and Berlin. The collection is on sale at the majority of prestigious shops and department stores in Paris, New York, London, Tokyo and Moscow.
