De Zes - Het echte verhaal Van De Zes Van Antwerpen
Oscar van den Boogaard
The only book about the Six with the Six
On the first floor of the 1986 British Designer Show in London, hidden among the bridal clothes, six unknown Flemish designers are discovered almost by chance. Because their names are unpronounceable for international visitors, someone must have shouted: ‘Come up and see the Six from Antwerp!’
The echo of these words has never left the designers. On the contrary, over the years it grew louder and louder, and the Six attained a mythical status. With their worldwide success, Dries Van Noten, Ann Demeulemeester, Dirk Bikkembergs, Walter Van Beirendonck, Dirk Van Saene, and Marina Yee put Belgian fashion on the international map.
In this book, novelist Oscar van den Boogaard reconstructs the rise and dynamics of the Six through intimate conversations with the designers themselves. He weaves their memories and experiences together into a unique biography.
Oscar van den Boogaard is the acclaimed novelist of an extensive oeuvre that has been frequently translated and nominated for major literary prizes. *De Heerlijkheid van Julia*, *Liefdesdood*, *Meer dan een minnaar*, and *Kindsoldaat* were bestsellers. *De Standaard* and *Vrij Nederland* declared him the most important voice of his generation.
