MMM



There is one person in fashion history who will remain a mystery to everyone. He is from Belgium (Genk, 1957) and photographs of him barely exists. I'm talking about Mr. Margiela. Exaggerated shoulders, trompe l'oeil effects, recycled fabrics, frayed edges and matching men to women are all part of his world. After Antwerp & Munich, this great exhibition will open on the 3th of June 2010 in London at the Somerset House! I'm present at the opening on the 2nd. Pictures and stories will follow...

La Belgique: dix points!

Designers Against Aids (DAA) is an awareness project with roots in wonderful Belgium. They are working since 2007 together with H&M and many international artists. H&M launched a contest to find the band who will perform at the H&M Fashion Against AIDS NYC launch party on May 19, 2010. And what do i see? The best electropunk band from Ghent, Belgium just entered the contest...



Nid & Sancy participate with H&M "Battle of the Bands"- contest. The ten highest rated bands will be reviewed by a panel of H&M judges. The winning band will perform live at the Fashion against AIDS launch party .. in New York. So If you want the NY people get a taste of some Belgian kick-ass music, just vote here!



One funny detail: when Nid and Sancy win, Hannelore Knuts (face of DAA, famous Belgian model and currently living in NYC) will be doing a special performance with the band at the Fashion against AIDS launch party in New York on May 19th! That would be an evening 'Best of Belgium'.
