"For Princess Claire of the Belgian Royal Family, i've created this jacket inspired by Dutch painter Piet Mondriaan. I replaced the typical Mondriaan colours with those of the Belgian flag and added a distinctive blue area as a metaphor for the blue blood. The result: neo-plasticism transposed onto a couture jacket with a ravishing effect."

Princess Claire of Belgium

Princess Claire of Belgium procured a gorgeous jacket designed by Stijn Helsen that was inspired by the modernist artist Piet Mondriaan, a dress she wore on the Belgian National Holiday some time ago. Several fittings with princess Claire together with Stijn Helsen culminated in an expressive jacket with a three-quarter sleeve. The high-fashion piece that Stijn Helsen created, was inspired by Dutch painter Piet Mondriaan. He replaced the typical Mondriaan colours with those of the Belgian flag and added a distinctive blue area as a metaphor for the blue blood. The result: neo-plasticism transposed onto a couture jacket with a ravishing effect.

Prince Laurent of Belgium

Prince Laurent of Belgium is a regular client at the Stijn Helsen Concept Store, especially for made-to-measure suits. It is not a secret that Prince Laurent of Belgium is quite an admirer of the style and approach of the bespoke creations of Stijn Helsen. Needless to say that in turn this is a enormous honour for the eager designer to count this crowned head of the Belgian Royal Family among his select circle of high-end clients.
