Stan Peeters
The body is a pavilion
Belgium 2026
Visionaries like Isamu Noguchi, Zaha Hadid, and Charles & Ray Eames have profoundly influenced the development of Stan Peeters’ collection. Their ability to sculpt space, to balance softness and structure, resonated with his desire to envision garments not just as clothes, but as elegant wearable sculptures integrating architectural shapes and 3D-printed accessories. The sculptural 3D-printed glasses with laser cut plexi, inspired by the artworks of Olafur Eliasson, add a bold, futuristic touch, bringing every look together. His choice of materials reflects a dialogue between the natural and the industrial, with custom steel hardware and wooden jewellery created in collaboration with his father. Mixing bright tones with natural hues, aiming for a sophisticated, intimate silhouette, Stan houses the body in a pavilion.
SELECTION MOTIVATION
Peeters’ fashion absorbs architecture's ethos. It turns the body into a guest of a garment. His clothes are cockpits of a habit. What surprises and stimulates is the quality of the architectural and design references that nourish the imagination of this creator who, in continuity with his own world, generates others in which more people can feel at ease. One is moved by the coherence with which he conceives garments and accessories—each an extension of the other. Peeters dresses a fighter armed with visual identity, colors, and radical cuts. A Vitruvian fashion in which space is measured by the body dressed for movement.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
Yellow pleated chiffon mini dress with wide raglan sleeves. The look is completed by a sculptural leather element, configured as a one-shoulder top with a high neckline. A structural extension develops from the top, wrapping around the torso and fastening at the front as a belt through a maxi metal buckle. The ensemble is completed by 3D-printed eyewear with layered Plexiglas lenses and frame covered in wood. Also on display are a collection of sculptural 3D-printed glasses incorporating laser-cut Plexiglas elements, inspired by the artworks of Olafur Eliasson, and a sculpted wood jewellery collection comprising two necklaces and one earring.
