30 Years of Stephan Schneider
“Neighbour visited Stephan Schneider’s atelier in november 2024. There is no coincidence, the brand celebrates 30 years in 2025, but producing in Belgium has become impossible and there will not be a SS25 collection in store.”

“Since 2013, we have carried the Stephan Schneider collection, and over the years - with four visits a year - they quickly became our favourite appointment in Paris, more of a prolonged visit with friends, mixed with a bit of work. Stephan and Martin are incredible people: generous, loving, creative, and almost excessively inspiring.
With the 30th anniversary on the horizon, and the end of our wholesale relationship, we wanted to do something to mark the occasion. We asked our collaborator Cassandre Lafon to travel to Antwerp and meet with them in their atelier, where she photographed archival pieces next to styles from our final collection, creating a dialogue of images, annotated by Stephan. Some of the pieces selected predate our time, and it is an exciting peek behind the curtain.”
