Essentiel Antwerp discontinues its menswear collection

The Fall/Winter 2019 collection is Essentiel Antwerp's last men's collection. The Belgian fashion house has announced this in a press release. "To continue to grow and evolve, Essentiel Antwerp announces its return to its original DNA by focusing solely on its women's collection," the company said.

Essentiel Antwerp has offered menswear collections for 15 years. "Since its launch in 2004, Essentiel Antwerp's men's collection has been a part of the identity and international expansion of the Antwerp brand." The brand reports that it has decided "to focus on its strength, and thus return its full attention to womenswear". The latest men's collection is still available in shops and online until the end of the season.

"By reshaping Essentiel Antwerp into a women's brand, the brand can ensure the continued growth of its successful women's collection with many new and exciting projects in the coming months." The Belgian brand thanks everyone who has contributed to the men's collections over the years.
