Driving, walking or biking trough Antwerp these days? Check out the 12 XXL containers with the most ‘iconic garments’ by Antwerp fashion designers photographed in super large formats everywhere in town.
Each time I pass by one, I’m touched by the absolute beauty of each visual, each model, each outfit. The impressive stapled containers turn these ‘fashion icons’ into ‘fashion giants’, exactly what they are in all senses. Call them towers, totems or modern statues.
Each 10-meter-high photograph represents the work of a celebrated graduate from the Fashion Department of the Antwerp Academy.
The legendary, let’s say ‘as-iconic-as-can-be-team’ behind this all: Dirk Van Saene-styling, Ronald Stoops-photographs, best friend sand partner AB-FAB makeup artist Inge Grognard. More? Hair: Ed Moelands / Models: Lisa Verberght & Benoni Loos / Photography assistance: Jef Jacobs / Production: David Flamée – MoMu Fashion Museum Antwerp & Joris Goorden – Antwerpen Open
