Collection Statement

As always we stand by our roots. We have included a small unit of cool and comfy sportswear. Very junior, hip and trendy minded because of its designs and fluo colours. New are the sporty twinsets in special prints and colours, the hooded t-shirts, artwork techniques and knitting patterns. Its 3 themes, with distinctive atmospheres, brings colour and power to the collection.

WE ARE FAMILY OWNED

The captains of the AO76 ship are ‘Patricia Vandemoortele & Gaspard Poelman’, mother and son with great talent and style. Together they uplifted the company of their (grand)father ‘Etienne Vandemoortele’ to a brand and established value in the Belgian
fashion market. Patricia’s son Gaspard, recently joined them to follow in their footsteps and lead AO76 into the future.

WE DESIGN IN BELGIUM

We are a small local fashion brand, founded in Heusden and rooted in Nazareth, nearby Ghent. Every single piece runs through a unique authentic design proces taking place one hundred percent in house. Occasionally we co-work together with young Belgian artists for a special Art work print or new inspiration.

WE STAY TRUE TO OUR ROOTS

In the golden seventies sportswear hit the streets of America and colored the fashion industry big time! In 1976 Etienne Van De Moortele started importing these USA sports brands to Belgium, as one of the very first in the branche. Today we still have a lot of casual, easy- to-wear sportswear in our collection.
