Stephan Schneider’s eponymous label is universally known for both creative, thoughtful design and incredible fabrics developed in-house. It’s that combination of elements that rewards this percipient designer’s patrons and keeps them coming back. Born in Germany, Stephan graduated top of his class from the Royal Academy for Fine Arts in Antwerp in 1994, winning a prize for his final collection that allowed him to show it in Paris. Since then, the collections have been shown during Paris Fashion Week, while design and production remain squarely in Belgium.
