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  Check them out before it is too late!   OVERVIEW DESIGNERS AND LOCATIONS:   A.F.

Milano 13: Moooi, mooi, mooi-a life inspiration story

Published by Kate Stockman

Milano, our annual design quest was inspirational this year. We try to stay away from the crowded fair itself, although I miss the satellite young designers corner.In the following posts I’ll give you my personal Salone favorites, and the things that hit my mind.To be honest, the one exhibition that stayed top of mind after three days (and kept us for two hours hypnotized) was  Marcel Wanders’show for Moooi, celebrating their life long collaboration with Dutch photographer Erwin Olaf. I must admit, I’m all ready a big fan of Olaf, who’s work is always controversial, über clean and off a breathtaking perfection.Erwin Olaf is the house-photographer of Moooi, but what they present here is not the usual ‘model-Moooi object in a fun, stylish combination’.
