This was quite an era for lovers of this fashion style. A torch still carried and then adopted by people like Rick Owens.

Antwerp’s MoMu Fashion Museum opens its most ambitious exhibition yet — a sprawling retrospective dedicated to the Antwerp Six, the radical group of Belgian designers including Dries Van Noten, Ann Demeulemeester, and Martin Margiela who collectively rewrote fashion’s rules after graduating together in 1981. The show examines how a tight-knit circle from a single city generated a deconstructivist, intellectually rigorous counter-current that still shapes how fashion thinks about itself. Source: Designboom
