MoMu Opens ‘The Antwerp Six’ With Six Singular Rooms

The museum reframes a famous label by letting each designer’s voice stand on its own.

Overview

  • MoMu in Antwerp has opened The Antwerp Six, which runs from March 28, 2026 to January 17, 2027.
  • Curators Geert Bruloot and Romy Cockx let each designer shape a separate gallery to stress six distinct voices.
  • The six are Walter Van Beirendonck, Marina Yee, Ann Demeulemeester, Dirk Van Saene, Dries Van Noten, and Dirk Bikkembergs.
  • Notable installations include Bikkembergs’ marble footballs with career videos, Van Saene’s rotating mannequins on bicycle wheels, and Van Noten’s wall of looping show finales.
  • The survey highlights Van Beirendonck as the only member still producing collections and memorializes Marina Yee with studio remnants, tying their legacy back to their 1986 London breakthrough.
