FASHION POST

A DAY IN ANTWERP..
Antwerp is my favourite city and is also known as Europe's leading trendsetters in fashion. They became trendsetters because of the "Antwerp six" a group of influential avant garde fashion designers who gratuated from Antwerp Royal Academy of Fine Arts between 1980-1981. The six designers are; Walter van Beirendonck, Ann Demeulenmeester, Dries van Noten, Dirk Sanae, Dirk Bikkembergs and Marina Yee. The breakthrough occured in 1988 as the group rented a truck and set out for the Londen fashion fair with their collection. 


The past few days I am really excited 
because tomorrow 
I’m going to: 


The Fashion Museum MOMU is sheltered in the ModeNatie in the Nationalestraat. ModeNatie accommodates several partners: the Fashion Museum, the Flanders Fashion Institute and the Fashion Department of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Artesis Hogeschool Antwerpen. UNRAVEL is an exhibition about a material that is very familiar to all of us. I'm looking forward seeing top pieces by national and international designers and labels. 


I will keep you posted..
