PARIS – Belgian designer Marina Yee, one of the members of the “ Antwerp Six,” died on Nov. 1.

Her death after a battle with cancer was announced by the MoMu Antwerp fashion museum.

The museum’s director Kaat Debo called Yee “an extraordinarily authentic voice in Belgian fashion” whose work was “radically honest, poetic, and always rooted in respect for both people and materials.”

“She taught us that fashion can be more than trends — a means of reflection, care, and connection,” Debo continued. “Her legacy will live on at MoMu and far beyond.”

Born in 1958 in Antwerp, Belgium, Yee went to study at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp, part of a generation that included Ann Demeulemeester, Dries Van Noten, Walter Van Beirendonck, Dirk Van Saene and Dirk Bikkembergs.
