Nous Antwerp

Nous Antwerp was founded in 2002 in Antwerp by Maxime and Pieter De Geyter as a multi-brand boutique focused on the intersection of Belgian designer fashion, broader European avant-garde, and the kind of curatorial sensibility that anchored Antwerp's broader post-2000 luxury retail conversation. The Nous Antwerp premise—that Antwerp needed a curated retail anchor that combined the city's Belgian designer heritage with contemporary international avant-garde brands—proved out commercially through the 2000s and 2010s. The Nous Antwerp vocabulary built up around an exceptional Belgian and avant-garde designer pipeline: Maison Margiela (post-Margiela era), Dries Van Noten, Ann Demeulemeester, Raf Simons, Walter Van Beirendonck, plus the broader Antwerp Six and post-Antwerp Belgian designer pipeline, alongside international avant-garde brands including Comme des Garçons, Junya Watanabe, and Rick Owens. The store's curatorial discipline—deep inventory on Belgian designer brands, ongoing seasonal programming—built a customer base that treats Nous Antwerp as one of the defining Antwerp avant-garde retail reference points. Nous Antwerp operates from its Antwerp flagship plus a robust e-commerce platform that distributes across Europe. The store's customer base—heavily skewed toward Antwerp design-industry and creative-class professionals plus the broader Belgian and European avant-garde customer network—treats Nous Antwerp as one of the defining post-2000 Antwerp avant-garde retail anchors. For Antwerp and broader Belgian customers building an avant-garde designer wardrobe through the post-2000 era, Nous Antwerp has been one of the defining retail destinations alongside Renaissance, Graanmarkt 13, and the broader Antwerp curated retail network.
