    REantwerp (led by Tim Van Steenbergen)

    At REantwerp we love fashion, but we don’t like the devastating effects of the industry on the planet and its people. We dream of a slower pace, more sustainable products, local anchoring, social connection and more attention to craft and makers. 

    Led by creative director Tim Van Steenbergen we do not compromise on style and quality. We create limited collections from deadstocks and recycled textiles from Belgian designers, labels and fabric manufacturers. 
    In our studio we work with the crafts and stories of refugees under guidance of GATAM asbl. 

    While we offer the refugees recognition and a future in our society, they enrich our wardrobe.

    NONSTOP WORLDWIDE (by Yentsé)

    NONSTOP WORLDWIDE is a new trans-seasonal fashion label for the modern globalist. Founder Yentsé JIN pursued his talent and passion at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and graduated as a fashion masters in 2021. In a world where style is led by social media and not by seasons, where trends matters less than attitude, NONSTOP WORLDWIDE was launched to satisfy a craving for fresh culture and fashion newness.

    The label is inspired by UNIVERSALITY, the rapid pace and diversity of fashion from all over the world. Inspired by the future cultures of the world, and made for all of its avant-garde communities, the NONSTOP WORLDWIDE audience is not defined by a demographic but by attitude and a sense of confidence and creativity that can manifest in any age group or community.

    The fashion industry has always existed within a series of codes and conventions - whether that’s colour pairings, gendered rules or seasonal collections. NSWW is here to break the codes - or at least play with them, releasing new designs according to drops and not dates, and embedding them in a fluidity that makes them neither prescriptively male nor female.
