After a first stop in Paris, the exhibition Inspirations dedicated to Dries Van Noten moves to Belgium, al MoMu, the Fashion Museum in Antwerp.
The idea behind the initiative is to make the public aware of a fundamental aspect of fashion, often hidden from most people, that is, the part that precedes the show, the point where the magic happens. The vision.

Taking a cue from the Renaissance chambers of wonder and curiosity cabinets, each collector's item is literally piled up, thus conveying to the observer the idea of being in a real memory room, full of souvenirs and pieces of personal history.

Interest in global themes such as passion, youth, archetype and ambiguity meet in the rooms of the museum, highlighting interesting aspects of Van Noten's creative work, such as, for example, the concept of gender. Typically feminine fabrics are used for men's garments while, on the contrary, explicitly masculine cuts define feminine clothes.
The exhibition opens its doors to the public today, Friday 13 February, and will end on 19 July 2015.
