It was graduates of that city's fashion school?Dries van Noten, Ann Demeulemeester, Walder van Beirendonck, Dirk van Saene, Dirk Bikkembergs and Marina Yee, a.k.a. the Antwerp Six?who were forging a distinctive deconstructionist style, a world away from Belgium's moules-frites-and-cherry-beer reputation. But today it's Brussels?and its Quartier Dansaert?that's ? la mode. At 74 Rue Antoine Dansaert is Stijl?the shop that began the revolution, tel: (32-2) 512 0313. Until 10 years ago, cheap...
