Weaving Creativity: A Cultural Journey with Belgium Creative of the Year

As an early supporter of independent Belgian and innovative international design, Sonja Noël opened STIJL in the mid-eighties, with a focus on the work of the Antwerp Six. The multi-label luxury designer store in the heart of downtown Brussels soon became known for its highly curated selection, as well as its focus on personal advice and exceptional interior design. Throughout the years, this innovative and daring vision was translated into a variety of other projects, sparking the resurgence and development of the vibrant Dansaert area. The Brussels Fashion & Lace Museum celebrates 40 years of STIJL with an exhibition that runs until January 2026.
