Veronique Branquinho (born in Vilvoorde, 1973) is a Belgian fashion designer of Portuguese ancestry who studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, from which she graduated in 1995.[1] In 1997, she presented her first womenswear collection in Paris and in 1998 she founded her namesake brand Veronique Branquinho.[2][3][4] She quickly rose to prominence in the international fashion scene and in 2003 she extended her brand with fall men's collection.[5] In 2009, she decided to stop her label, as a consequence of the 2008 financial crisis, but she revived it three years later, in collaboration with Italian manufacturer Gibò (now Onward Luxury Group). This was only a brief revival, as the brand was discontinued again in 2017.[6] Veronique Branquinho was based in Antwerp, while her runway shows took place in Paris, the last of which was shown in June 2017.[7]
