Belgian born and studied designer Christian Wijnants is quietly doing some impressive work. Wijnants has been a professor at the Royal Academy of Antwerp, his alma mater, since 2005 while showing two collections a year. Wijnants' collections are intellectual, but never lose sight of the ultimate goal: to help women look beautiful.

His Fall 2008 collection lookbook is now online.
