Part 2: Anti Fashion
Anti-Fashion meant creating something different. The second part of Fashion shines a light on the upcoming designers of the 90ies like Ann Demeulemeester, Martin Margiela and Dries Van Noten. These Belgian newcomers challenged everything the fashion world has know before....in Paris more and more creative people followed the new approach of minimalism. At the same time, the "Grunge" era was born in the US. Kate Moss became the new model icon and many many more interesting things happened....
