JURGI PERSOONS IS A BELGIAN FASHION DESIGNER WITH A VERY PARTICULAR STYLE

The 2002 collection

Jurgi Persoons (1969) is a Belgian fashion designer. He graduated at the the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp in 1992 and two years later he collaborated with Walter Van Beirendonck . He debuted in Paris, with a women’s collection, in 1996. He prefers craftsmanship, tailoring and reinterprets traditional English men’s clothing.

His style is dark, he pays particular attention to presenting his collections, always with the desire to amaze: models imprisoned in cages on the Quai della Seine; mannequin like insects on the tables of an entomologist.

In 2002, he chose the Palais Galliera , home to a famous fashion museum, as the background of his collection.
