"Founded by Sonja Noël, Stijl has been instrumental in providing a platform for emerging and groundbreaking designers since it opened in 1984. Together with the Antwerp Six, Noël cleverly marketed Belgium as a cult fashion destination and the Rue Antoine Dansaert as its epicentre of high-end garms. On sale are stalwart brands such as Dries Van Noten and Ann Demeulemeester, plus forward-thinking labels including Sofie d’Hoore and Jan-Jan Van Essche."
