After graduating from Belgium's La Cambre design school, working for Fendi, and winning top honor at the Hyeres Festival in 2006, Paris-based Anthony Vaccarello went on to found his own eponymous line in 2009. Vaccarellos aesthetic is uncluttered, erotic, and bold, with minimalist pieces striving to balance sensuality with strong structuring. Varied silhouettes, ranging from boxy to bodycon, feature dramatic cut-outs and minimalist colors, and are often embellished with industrial touches such as metallic spikes and rods.
