Kris Van Assche

Kris Van Assche is one of Belgium’s most renowned fashion designers, celebrated for his refined, minimalist style and his ability to merge tradition with innovation. From his early days at Yves Saint Laurent and Dior to leading Berluti, Van Assche has consistently pushed boundaries while honoring craftsmanship. His fascination with clothing began in childhood, inspired by his grandmother Josephine, who helped spark his creative journey. With a deep respect for heritage and an eye on the future, he brought streetwear into the world of haute couture, redefining the codes of menswear.

Today, Van Assche ventures beyond fashion, creating interior objects in collaboration with Serax. His work remains thoughtful, balanced, and contemporary, a reflection of his quiet strength as a designer. His lifelong love of flowers, often featured in his fashion collections, now finds new expression in objects for the home. This culminates in The Josephine Collection, a refined series of vases and bonbonnières that pays tribute to the woman who inspired it all, and a trio of scented candles, each translating a personal memory into fragrance.
