The Antwerp Six, consisting of Ann Demeulemeester, Dirk Bikkembergs, Dirk Van Saene, Dries Van Noten, Marina Yee, and Walter Van Beirendonck, are a collective of well-known Belgian fashion designers who all studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in the 1980s. They gained worldwide acclaim for their creative avant-garden designs and helped establish Antwerp as a major fashion hub.

Antwerp’s Fashion District is located between Kammenstraat and Nationalestraat. The city’s longest shopping street is called the Meir, renowned for its international chains and the grand Stadsfeestzaal shopping mall. For smaller boutiques, Kammenstraat is a good choice, while luxury shoppers will find plenty of high-end options along the upscale Schuttershofstraat.
