The Emperor of the Antwerp Fashion



Since 1989, Dries Van Noten has his first flagshipstore in the heart of what we call these days the fashiondistrict. The MoMu is just one block away, Walter Van Beirendonck two streets.
Not only is Dries a remarkable designer, but he's also a very clever businessman. With his atelier at 'het eilandje of Antwerp' (a smaller version of the docklands of London) he's got a wonderful team working with him. One of the most important facts to attract customers into your store, is to have an amazing window. Well, every time they change the windows, every fashionista is wondering what it will be this time at Dries...

No copies possible?



The great and extravagant designer Alexander McQueen created funny-shaped but fantastic new shoes for his collection of spring/summer 2010. Let's hope women will wear them!

Royal Luxury




The house of Delvaux (the fashion company, not the painter) is more than just a famous house of leather handbags. They started their travel goods production in 1829, just one year before Belgium was founded. The MoMu couldn't let this pass by of course, so they put a great exhibition together where you can travel through fashion years in a wonderful environment...









Go and visit, it's still there untill february the 22nd 2010!
