Stijl

Brussels


A top address, Stijl is well stocked with Antwerp Six classic designer ware (Ann Demeulemeester, Dries Van Noten) but also features up-to-the-minute designers, including Haider Ackermann, Gustavo Lins (www.gustavolins.com) and Raf Simons. It’s a hip place but not unduly daunting to enter, and unlike many such boutiques, prices are clearly labelled. Has fashion for men and women.
