Peters' work is known because of his conceptual, layered and innovative style and is praised because if its optimism, playfulness and renewing form of elegance. More serious matter is brought in a light manner, with the arising of a new unbiased perspective as a result. His work brings airiness by means of concept, but also literally in the clothing and installations itself. ANTOINE PETERS stands for 'One size fits all elegance'. Bringing together the best of 'casual' and 'sophistication'. ANTOINE PETERS wants to spread a smile.
