The Antoine Peters universe is a search for the quirky. The concepts generally are based on undermining and commenting negativity. More serious matter is brought in a light manner, with the arising of a new unbiased perspective as a result. The work brings airyness by means of concept, but also literally in the clothing and installations itself. Antoine loves to play with extremes and proportions in material, print, silhouette and concept. Antoine Peters is about optimism, playfulness and a renewing form of elegance which he calls 'One-size-fits-all-elegance'. Bringing together the best of both worlds: A casual feel captured within a sophisticated look. ANTOINE PETERS wants to spread a little smile.
