THE EDGE OF CLASSIC
A BOLD SPIN ON PREPPY
Nathalie Vleeschouwer’s AW25 collection presents a playful, distinctive take on preppy classics.
Drawing inspiration from the world of boarding schools and polo clubs, the collection shows a playful and almost cheeky wink at tradition.
Preppy Polo & Campus Cool
Classic elements are lifted out of their context and reimagined with an unexpected twist. Sharp blazers meet streetwear-inspired sweaters, while oversized bombers embrace feminine silhouettes with a boyish edge. Asymmetrical shirts play with the rigid conventions of the uniform. Richly embroidered emblems and crisp tailoring enhance the ‘old money’ attitude, while expressive details add a subtle dose of humour. A scarf is cleverly constructed from shirt sleeves, bows appear oversized and unexpected, paired with smart double-breasted blazers.
Dare to Catch the Light
Colour plays a defining role. Shades of green take centre stage - from deep khaki to vibrant lime - accented with touches of sky blue, warm hazelnut and mocha, appearing across chunky knits and scarves. Metallics and sequins provide striking contrast, letting you catch the light at every turn. Faux leather coated jackets guide you through the season with effortless shine. Layering and versatility are key, ensuring the collection moves seamlessly on the rhythm of daily life.
Dare to DREAM
‘DREAM’. This powerful word literally takes centre stage at Nathalie Vleeschouwer.
It has adorned the façade of the Antwerp headquarters for several years and now emerges as a recurring statement throughout the collection. More than just a word, DREAM is an invitation. To think bigger, to colour outside the lines and to write your own story. This collection equips you with the tools to dare to dream. To experiment with style, to break with tradition and to shape your own reality. After all, why choose between chic and playful, between tradition and innovation, when you can embrace it all at once?
Nathalie’s Universe Inspiration flows in from all corners of the world, carefully refined by Nathalie and her team at the Antwerp headquarters. As a family business, teamwork is our driving force. The soul of the collection is deeply connected to the designer herself, resulting in an authentic style that evolves continuously with Nathalie’s creative vision.
Respect for people, the environment and society forms the core of our values. We are committed to building trust with our suppliers and producers through transparency and long-term partnerships.
For over 20 years, more than half of our collection has been produced by Belgian manufacturers. The rest is carefully crafted by trusted partners in Portugal, Spain and Turkey. We maintain a close connection to our production process, regularly visiting our ateliers to personally ensure that working conditions meet our high standards.
