EDOUARD VERMEULEN Born on 4 March 1957 in Ypres, Belgium, Edouard Vermeulen has long been enthralled by the complex nature of architecture. After graduating as an interior designer from the Saint-Luc college in Brussels in the early 1980s, he exhibited his first creations on the ground floor of 158 Avenue Louise, where the couturier Paul Natan was featuring his own collections. When the store closed in 1983, Edouard Vemeulen seized the opportunity to rent this space. With artisanal tradition seeping out from the foundations, and much to the delight of Paul Natan's loyal clientele, who continued to frequent the boutique, Edouard Vermeulen pursued his growing passion for couture. He took over the house under the name of NATAN and began to foster his acute vision of a classical yet sophisticated signature fashion. By 1984, his atelier was already designing a capsule collection for a charity event. With Queen Paola of Belgium at the heart of this association, the emerging Belgian House quickly took root in the heart of high society.
Natan brings its couture tailoring down to a shorter, squarer shape for autumn. The cloth is coated to a fine crackled surface that catches the light, cut with a point collar, dropped shoulders and three covered buttons on a clean placket. Espresso keeps the shine low.
Natan cuts its evening ease into outerwear here. Supple vegan leather is gathered at a high neck into a long tie that falls the length of the front, with blouson sleeves drawn to elasticated cuffs and a short, banded hem. Black gives the volume its weight.
Natan works the Flocon in the same crinkled cloth as its Ferola top, a navy satin crushed into fine vertical creases that catch the light. The waist is pleated and belted with a self-fabric tie through the house's gold and red monogram buckle, and the leg falls wide and loose to the floor. Ease with a formal edge.
