For 40 years, through her STIJL boutique, Sonja has been translating contemporary Belgian fashion into everyday fashion wear. By supporting new brands and young designers, STIJL has played an essential part in writing the story of fashion in the city, The Fashion and Lace Museum is currently presenting a show dedicated to the boutique curated by Sonja's daughter Anja.
