Shopping weekend


What a weekend !  People, parties, places.
The Fashion Museum of Hasselt  organised a stocksale of designerclothes by upscale designerboutiques in Hasselt with brands like Martin Margiela, Balenciaga, Prada, Dior, Dries van Noten .... obviously I had to visit  (it's allways nice to impress for less).  The menswear collection was so much nicer then the women's, so the hunt for exquisite was not that exciting.












We were saved by a visit  to the expo "Devout/Divine  Fashion VS Religion"  about the not so obvious connection between fashion and religion. The expo tries to show striking examples in contemporary fashion of the use of elements of the major world religions. Very nice exhibition ( till 09-01-2011-www.modemuseumhasselt.be)


From Hasselt to Ghent were Belgian brand A.F. Vandevorst launched "Aktion III" , their 3d pop-up store in Belgium. The Aktion III store , which looks like a hospital, even includes a gallery, hosting art expositions, book launches, performances and an Aktion III restaurant. ( Brabantdam 70-72, 9000 Ghent) (Aktionen@AFvandevorst.be)  . The fashion crowd was dancing ( untill the musicinstallation broke down) and drinking ( untill there were no more bubbles) and having their pictures taken in a Rx photoboot ( untill they were out of money) .....







Time to relax !   Have a nice sunday ! xoxo
