In 2004, at Pitti Uomo, Belgian designer Veronique Branquinho deviated from her usual wardrobe-driven designs towards a conceptual collection rooted in the mountain-American aesthetic of David Lynch’s experimental crime series Twin Peaks. Drawing on the show’s styling, which predicted some of the aesthetic tenets of grunge before its explosion in popularity, Branquinho reworked textures and colors into a coherent men’s wardrobe. 

Veronique Branquinho, a designer who emerged the same time and from the same  place as many of fashion's historic figures, is not one who should be overlooked when analyzing late 90s/early 2000's fashion. Veronique Branquinho not only provided runways with tasteful and alluring classic designs, she proved herself as a designer who was also capable of designing complete conceptual collections that conveyed a captivating story to an audience.
