Architecture and fashion go hand in hand.  Just look at the way the architect Christine Conix combines style with timelessness, reflecting the xandres philosophy better than anyone we know.  Her motto is “ ‘Continuously in motion’, and soon you’ll be drawing a building as if it was a fashion garment”.

Because fashion is timeless, xandres and xandres x-line, in partnership with Vizit, have organised a city walk in Antwerp, Brussels and Ghent for its fans.  The city walks home in on architecture and fashion in three fabulous cities, each of which has its own story to tell about architecture and fashion.

Lieve Blancquaert and xandres have joined forces for Annick’s Boutique in Kenya

As part of the retrospective of the work of photographer Lieve Blancquaert, the total exhibition space in the ‘Bank van de Arbeid’ in Ghent was adorned with xandres fabrics.   Following this exhibition, the fabrics were given a second life in the sewing workshop of Hope Home, the orphanage in Kenya that is supported by Lieve and Annemie Struyf.

“When Lieve called us to say that she was preparing an exhibition and wanted to decorate it with xandres fabrics, we immediately said ‘yes’”, said Isabelle Santens, managing director of Andres.   “Lieve came and chose the fabrics that we used and her idea was to send the fabrics to Annick’s Boutique in Kabondo at the end of the exhibition where they would be given a second life.”

Annick’s Boutique

Annick’s Boutique has been producing clothes since December.   This is a sewing workshop and sewing school for young girls. The name of the workshop is in memory of Annick Van Uytsel who was murdered.   She had a dream: to set up a sewing school in Africa. She can no longer make this dream come true, but she left a lot of people behind who wanted to do this in her place.   Simple techniques are taught in the sewing school so that the girls can produce garments such as school uniforms for instance.   A label is sewn into all the items: “Annick’s Boutique.   RESPECT FOR GIRLS.”

xandres & Lieve

xandres has a special relationship with Lieve Blancquaert.   A number of years ago she came up with the concept for the xandres x-line catalogues based on the theme of: we want more than a collection of beautiful photos; we want to tell the story behind the women. The first catalogue in which Lieve made portraits of six normal women of different ages, drew widespread attention.   In 2007 xandres organised a benefit evening during which the Lieve’s photos were exhibited and sold in the xandres shops.   The proceeds went to Hope Home in Kabondo.    Isabelle Santens then decided to visit the orphanage in Kenya herself.   She met Achieng, the founder and inspiration behind the orphanage: “It was an amazing experience.   Achieng became a strong woman through sheer willpower and intelligence and she became an example for her community.”
