凡事有兩手準備，不代表兩手有高低之分，其實左右手手握的，都可以是具同等價值的選擇。PLAN B，也解作PLAN BEST，手執起《MILK X》的你，應該要在時裝文化起居飲食當中，給自己計劃最好，懂得去選擇最好。二零二零年三月，編輯們分享各自心中最理想的「PLAN B」人和物，希望讀者亦能夠為春夏季度做好兩手準備。

比利時在時裝界的影響舉足輕重，並非這個地方的經濟實力，而是一群來自比利時的時裝設計師，他們的設計美學影響著當代時裝文化。八十年代崛起的「安特惠普六君子」，六位設計師從安特衛普皇家藝術學院畢業，進入時裝界並獲得極大關注，甚至可以說是傳奇人物。如今，他們其中有的退下舞台，有的依舊活躍在行業中。不僅如此，以獨立身分在設計界闖蕩的，還有幾位設計師的名字也是耳熟能詳的。這些來自比利時的設計師，他們到底有何魅力？他們又是怎樣看待時裝？

1.OLIVIER THEYSKENS
“I ALWAYS LOVED DRAMA, TERRIBLE THINGS - I COULD SEE BEAUTY IN THERE. I DID NOT FANCY FUNNY THINGS THAT MUCH. WHAT I BRING OUT IS SOME SENSITIVITY…IT CONNECTS WITH SOMETHING DARK, SOMETHING NOSTALGIC, SOMETHING FRAGILE, SOMETHING HAUGHTY.”

2.DRIES VAN NOTEN
“FOR ME PERSONALLY, 
THERE’S TOO MUCH FASHION AROUND IN THIS WORLD.”

3.KRIS VAN ASSCHE
“BEAUTY COMES FROM STRANGE PLACES”

4.ANN DEMEULEMEESTER
“BEAUTY OF MIND CREATES FREEDOM. 
FREEDOM OF MIND CREATES BEAUTY. ”

5.MARTIN MARGIELA
“IT’S FOR A TINY GROUP OF WOMEN, AND NOT EVERYONE WILL LIKE IT. IT’S IMPORTANT TO DO WHAT YOU WANT, AND THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOME PEOPLE WHO AGREE.”

6.RAF SIMONS 
“I LIKE THE IDEA OF DOING SOMETHING VERY CALMING IN THE MIDST OF WHAT I THINK IN FASHION IS NOW ONE HUGE MESS, A MELTING POT OF OVERDONE CLOTHES.”
