About us
Natalie Van Lijsebettens‘ career took off when she started sculpting her idiosyncratic style of footwear for the feet of fashion-savvy individuals, artists and showbiz celebrities. Over the years, her studio Collectif d’ Anvers’ has grown into the place to go for exceptional custom-made footwear and items Natalie whimsically refers to as fashion artefacts: hand-made accessories and mementos that gracefully bond with their wearer, delivering lasting emotional connections.
The success and exposure of these extraordinary one-offs made Natalie decide to create limited editions of footwear and accessories in collaboration with small-scale artisanal producers.
True to her creative and artisanal roots, these prêt-à-porter shoes and accessories showed a bewildering array of combinations pairing vegetable tanned leather with uniquely designed fabrics.
Each of the fabrics contained fusions of cotton, linen, rubber, polyamide and silk, which added a surprising level of durability to the mix. Taking the expression of her fashion artefacts to the next level, Natalie now introduces artistic interventions that fully convey a collection’s main theme. True to the name ‘Collectif d’ Anvers’, these interventions are collaborations between Natalie, artists and specialized local producers.
Natalie has decided to only march to the impetuous beat of her own drum. This action has liberated Collectif d’Anvers from the seasonal rhythm and other restrictive rules imposed by the fashion industry. In Natalie’s words the only way to stay pure, grow creatively and constantly surprise.

How it all began.
Our brands all grew in response to a very personal question: why was it impossible to find beautiful, stylish, and affordable fashion that also cared for people and the environment? Back in 2011, we decided to create an ethical alternative ourselves and took on a pioneering role in Belgian fashion. It was up to us to prove that things could be done differently and that well-considered choices in design, production, transport, and packaging could truly make a difference.
First, there was Froy&Dind.
From the very beginning, our first sustainable clothing brand brought a breath of fresh air to the Belgian clothing world with cheerful prints, comfortable fabrics, and sustainable production. Since 2011, we consciously chose to open our own design studio in Antwerp, where we drew inspiration from everything that makes life beautiful and meaningful for us: our children, little moments of joy, a colorful collection of gadgets, and friends with whom we share joys and sorrows.
And so, Munoman was born.
After many successful collections for women and children, we were ready to grow further. Because we were increasingly asked by the men around us: what about us? And they were right! And so, in 2016, Munoman was born. A contemporary men’s brand with sweaters, shirts, and knitwear that stays true to our core principles: honest, high-quality, ecological, and Belgian. And for Munoman, we add a touch of humor. Every season, we enjoy illustrating the coolest prints when designing the new Munoman.
WOMED award.
In 2017, Greenqueens founder Adinda De Raedt received the prestigious WOMED award from Queen Mathilde. A wonderful recognition as female entrepreneur of the year!
Onnolulu as a children’s brand.
In 2018, we launched our first school bags and backpacks made from 100% recycled PET bottles under the new brand name Onnolulu. Every year, we choose cool prints that are sure to delight our own children. In the following years, Onnolulu slowly grew into a fully-fledged children’s brand for cheerful kids. By 2021, we will be bundling all our baby and children’s clothing under the Onnolulu brand name, and we will retain Froy&Dind as the exclusive brand for our strong women’s collection.
Green Zoo, bamboo underwear.
We had gained so much experience in creating and producing fair, ecological, and high-quality fashion that in 2019, we confidently launched another brand based on the same philosophy: Green Zoo. Because yes, it’s possible to make sustainable, ethical choices when it comes to your underwear, too. We consciously opted for a timeless, simple collection of the softest underwear made from bamboo fibers. And you have to try it to believe it, but truly: “Once you go bamboo, you never go back!” 😉
Aikoo, our youngest member.
In 2020, we proudly introduce the youngest member of the Greenqueens family: Aikoo. For the next few years, we’ll be bundling all our school bags, pencil cases, travel bags, and backpacks for kids under Aikoo. The cheerful prints don’t reveal that they’re made from 100% recycled materials, but of course, they are!
On to a bright, sustainable future.
And our story is far from over. Our small, family-friendly team is fully prepared for a bright, sustainable future. During our pleasant lunch breaks, we sometimes imagine what the world could look like if our company philosophy were truly allowed to become the norm. Because a world where we all take a little more care of each other and the environment—don’t we all dream of that?

PHILOSOPHY
Nathalie d’Anvers offers a way of creating, a search for harmony by combining forms and colors in order to evoke a spiritual state and transcribing through this alchemy, the essence of « feminity ». Each creation places in the spotlight the woman who is wearing it and illuminates her personality. The creations of Nathalie d’Anvers reflect the sensitive resonance of the body movement in this world and in the universe. They unveil as much the spirit of the woman wearing them as the love of beauty that inspires and motivates their inception. The brand embodies the return of beautifull, timeless creations that emphasizes and magnifies the silhouette.
Nathalie d’Anvers discovered at a very young age the art of creating dresses and outfits, exclusively reserved for a female audience. Inspired by her grandmother’s couture-skills, art books and her particular interst in sculpture and drawing, she created her first pieces from old fabrics, laces, and other accessories. As a teenager, she studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Antwerp, where she developed her passion for sculpture.
After a fifteen years international career in business and finance, she returned to her first passion: art, sculpture and dresses.
Nathalie d’Anvers creates her dresses as a sculptor. Instead of drawings, she uses a miniature « mannequin-doll » for modelling her designs. She needs this three dimensional sensation and the touch with natural materials, silk and high quality tissus, for turning an idea into an object. The realisation of the final dresses is exclusively done by Haute Couture ateliers in Paris, artisans and fine craftmanship in Belgium. Perfectionism, an eye and focus on the tiniest details and high quality finishings, guarantees the quality, beauty and durability of the creations of the brand.
Nathalie d’Anvers offers women timeless lines, contemporary innovations while maintaining the essential ideals, which are reactivating a classicism, synonymous with elegance. Her timeless but complicated designs result in sophisticated dresses with a signature of pure and smooth lines.
Her way of draping, noble fabrics and transparancies combined with innovative techniques results in exquisite dresses.
Nathalie d’Anvers is not dictated by seasonal tendencies, but follows her own feelings.
In many ways she works in close collaboration with contemporary artists. The creations are made to outlive the passing swings of fashion. Every dress is a reflection of her state of mind.
Wearing a dress of Nathalie d’Anvers is an attitude, a way of being : « Be Anything but Obvious »

Ruben Opheide en Koen Van Weverberg richtten in 2018 het made-to-measure merk SCHAAP op. Hun kijk op maatwerk voor de modern gentlemen ging meteen van bij de start verder dan het klassieke kostuum op maat:

Philosophy
The challenge in my work is the search for authenticity and artisanship in fashion.
The difference between confection and prêt-à-porter or couture is to be found in how it is made.
Handwork, quality of fabric, building a piece layer by layer, differentiates my work from confection.
I’m in search of old values in a new world.
The motivation in my work is to transfer craftsmanship and the old values into different and modern designs.
Due to my belief in artisanship, every garment is created by hand on the dummy to develop its characteristic shape.
These traditional construction process and unique draping techniques guarantee a high appreciated quality and an exclusive collection.
Studio Tim Van Steenbergen
The studio of Tim Van Steenbergen is located in a 19th century mansion close to the historical site of the Antwerp military hospital. An eclectic interior were fashion meets art, historical elements are confronted with design and vintage furniture.
The studio Tim Van Steenbergen is the optimal place to realize his ideas, situated in the pocketsize metropolis Antwerp. This refreshing cosmopolitan owes its reputation to the mighty part, the world diamond centre and its trendsetting vision of fashion.
This welcoming multicultural city-on-the-river the Scheld, is an intelligent, complex, fascinating and surprising habitat with a magnificent contemporary architecture, opera and theatre, monuments and artworks as well as its historical medieval centre.
The home of the Flemish Baroque master Rubens.
The Red Star line company set off its ships on the transatlantic voyage with millions of emigrants who set out for a new life in the States and Canada.
Nowadays Antwerp is one of the fastest growing cultural cruise destinations in Europe.
“Due to its excellent acces, it pushes you to travel the world looking for new impressions and personal experiences.”
“After all it is an attractive place to come home from where you can work independently and with an open minded view on the rest of the world.”

ABOUT
Our garments can be worn from morning to night without worry. Even multiple days in a row. You can navigate city traffic, office politics and the queue at the bar – in the same sharp outfit. Without the need to go home and get changed.
We couldn’t find it, so we created it.
We are two designers from Antwerp with a fascination for materials and fabric technologies. We earned our wings in the outdoor industry where the design process is led by performance and functionality. But gradually we started to demand the same performance from our daily wardrobe. We couldn’t find any. So we decided to create these garments ourselves with the groundbreaking materials we used in the outdoor industry but in a style that we want to wear all day, not just when we are out in the mountains.
It starts with the yarn.
We take a nerdy interest in garment finishes and fabric technology, and if we can’t find the fabric we have in mind we set out to develop it. So we can knit or weave our fabrics with the exact characteristics needed to make your life more comfortable. We build on the centuries of experience of our established suppliers, and thrive on the energy of our more recently founded partners. And we will never stop improving, because your lives will never stop changing.
Duty of care.
We take our responsibility towards the environment and our fellow humans very seriously. There are key aspects of the fashion industry that we simply don’t agree with. That’s why we didn’t want to board that train without questioning every aspect of it. We believe that every garment you buy should be a piece that you want to wear for years. That’s why we build long lasting pieces with a timeless styling. We also involve our community so we know that you like what we will make even before we start making it. We only use materials that are cultivated in a responsible way and where less chemicals are needed to process them into finished garments. We prefer to source local, European materials and work with European manufacturers. Most of them are small to medium sized family run businesses where we really know the people. Because in the end it’s their devotion that makes the difference.
