He has worked with Lancome and became recognized as the darling designer of Donatella Versace. Vogue and WWD write that the Belgian­-Italian designer is about to succeed Hedi Slimane at YSL. And you, are you still trying to learn his name?

Everything began when Anja Rubik appeared at the Met Gala in 2012 wearing a revealing white creation bearing his signature. It was there, at the biggest fashion parade after the Oscars, that Donatella Versace noticed him. After that, his creations were worn by Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Gisele Bundchen and again by Anja Rubik who found herself banned by Instagram when she uploaded her photograph wearing an Anthony Vaccarello dress which revealed her bust. His friend and muse is Lou Doillon. He himself wants to design sexy collections without being crude. “I think that there is a fine line”, he has said in an earlier interview. “Everything has to do with the woman wearing the creation”.
