Call designer Veronique Branquinho, Frau Professor the next time you run into her.
The cool lady Belgium designer has been named a visiting tutor of fashion at the Fashion Department of the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. She succeeds Raf Simons, who did the job since October 2000. Helmut Lang and Vivienne Westwood have taught at the same institution.
“I don’t plan long lectures with lots of words, that is not my thing. More working directly with the students, aiding and interacting, just like the way I was taught,” says Branquinho, a graduate of Antwerp’s famed Royal Academy.
Veronique expects to spend four days a month in Vienna, an easy commute, but a tad too far to drive her vintage 1986 Porsche, or for that matter her Honda CP 1976 motorbike.
Though spiritual and even sensual in her fashion, when it comes to transport Branquinho favors tough chic.
