D’Huys—who studied fashion at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp—was part of the design team for Ann Demeulemeester for more than 12 years.

The cast in this incarnation are all dead-ringers for the young locals one might encounter on a New York City subway platform.
Speaking of film, D’Huys's use of color—Jets in cool blue tones and Sharks in warm reds—is the only noticeable nod to the 1961 motion picture, which she admits had a big impact on her as a teen. But she was determined to otherwise keep things “very contemporary.” And she succeeded.
