When looking for a luxurious fashion designer in the Benelux region, I came across Edouard Vermeulen. The thing that strikes you when you see one of his massive creations is they love their fabric-- they incorporates layer upon layer of sumptuous materials in every design.
Natan is one of the truest definitions of Couture I’ve come across in Belgium, whose designs could stand proudly against any Parisian house. Started in the 1930’s, Natan was taken over by Edouard Vermeulen in 1983, and since then their ‘haute couture’ collection has redefined Belgian opulence. They also have a ready-to-wear collection, but their signature of sumptuousness is embodied in their upscale version that is so ‘haute’ it should really have its own accent.
Natan’s couture collection can be found at their flagship store located in Brussels, Belgium, while their Pret a porter collection is sprinkled through out Belgium and Paris. More information is available at www.natan.be.
