This is why Angélique founded Pursuit women in early February, with her daughters Joy and Jill Van der Heijden.A label by and for women, specializing in tailor -made costumes.To say that styling flows in their veins is an understatement.Together, they represent the third and fourth generation of the famous Van Gils family.Angelique is also co -founder of the Belgian brand of clothing for men costume, established in Antwerp, Ghent and Bruges.
