Friendship-Inspired Fashion

A.F. Vandevorst Launches the A.friend Collection

Belgian fashion retailer A.F. Vandevorst wants to remind you how sweet friendship is through not only a new line called A.Friend, but also the ads showing two intimate girls.

Inspired by the designer's friends, who have been talking about the demands for casual wear, A.Friend, which targets young women, is as creative and sleek as the mainline, but is more affordable as there will be a "strategized price range.”

The collection will be available worldwide from later January.
