It's time that we see fashion as more than just clothing. Fashion is who we are or who we want to be. Fashion is thoughtful. Fashion is many things to many people as seen in the designs shown in this book.

"Belgian Fashion Design" tracks all of today's major Belgian fashion designers, from Ann Demeulemeester to Veronique Branquinho, and some lesser known designers; from conception of an idea to the runway, or swimming pool (depending on where the designer decides to show his or her collection).

This book has hundreds of great color and b&w photos spanning the last two decades, as well as interviews with the designers giving insite to their ideas, inspirations and reasons for designing.

"Belgian Fashion Design" is a must have for any design professional, design student or anyone who thinks clothing is more than protection of the body from the elements.

I bought this when it first came out in 2000, and remember thinking how crazy & original everything looked! But when I brought it out again in 2006 for old times sake, I couldn't help but think how childish and over-designed it all looked 6 years later.

I'll probably never buy another over-priced fashion book again after I realized this happens with every fashion book I've bought in the past. Oh well, I sold it for 3 times as much as I paid for it! Suckers!
