Museum collection
The fashion museum in Antwerp is interesting because there is practically no permanent composition. Twice a year the museum presents new exhibitions dedicated to a certain period in the history of fashion, a fashion house or a particular fashion designer. Sometimes here you can find not only the work of designers, but also what inspires them.
In recent years, the best works of the following designers have been exhibited at the Antwerp Fashion Museum:
- Cristobal Balenciaga;
- Walter Van Beirendonck;
- Drisa Van Noten;
- Madame Gre.
In addition to exhibitions, the Antwerp Fashion Museum hosts training sessions, evening presentations, meetings with fashion designers and seminars on history and fashion trends.
Not only amateurs come to the fashion museum in Antwerp, but also students studying at a neighboring institute, which is one of the oldest institutions of this profile. Many of them have already won recognition in the world. Annually, the award is given to the best student of the fashion department of the Royal Art Academy, and his collection is exhibited here for several months.
The fashion museum in Belgium always remains true to its traditions. He shows people not only beautiful clothes, but also shows her influence on the social and cultural life of each generation.
