It feels like entering another world. The historic building, once a maritime school, has been transformed into a serene sanctuary by Ann and her husband (and long-term collaborator), Patrick Robyn. Black parquet floors contrast with crisp white canvas walls, while a lush garden beckons from the back of the store. Beyond the brand&#8217;s signature clothing, the 520m\u00b2 space is filled with furniture, lighting, and tableware \u2013 all born from a collaboration with Belgian design house Serax. Every detail, from the seating to the glassware, to the impeccable service, carries the poetic touch that Demeulemeester and Patrick Robyn are known for.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.driesvannoten.com\/pages\/het-modepaleis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Dries Van Noten flagship<\/a> is equally impressive. Located in the iconic heritage-listed &#8216;Het Modepaleis&#8217; (the Fashion Palace), which was built in 1881, the store was historically home to a gentleman\u2019s outfitters, a peer of Dries&#8217; grandfather. The space incorporates wooden counters, tiled floors and wide curved windows and has been home to Dries since 1989.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-235217\" src=\"https:\/\/www.russh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/antwerp-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.russh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/antwerp-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.russh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/antwerp-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.russh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/antwerp-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Sights to see&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Antwerp is the home of Art Nouveau Architecture and has some of the most beautiful examples of signage, doorways, ironwork and residential buildings in this style I have seen.<\/p>\n<p>A highlight is the<a href=\"https:\/\/pinningtheworld.com\/belgium\/cogels-osylei-zurenborg-antwerp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Cogels-Osylei<\/a> (and its neighboring streets), which are a real architectural highlight and I visit every time I am in Antwerp.
