SHOW2018 & EXPO2018 - FASHION DEPARTMENT ANTWERP

Students from Bachelor and Master years will be showing their work to an international audience of 4.000 peers, fashion fans, professionals and industry insiders alike. 

On Saturday June 2nd, the exhibition EXPO2018 offers a chance to view some of the work up close and zoom in on collection details. 9 Master students' installations carrying their graduate collections will be on display as well as pieces by 1st Bachelor students who created dresses inspired by 'Antwerp Baroque 2018'. The graduating students will also be present to shed light on their installations and visitors will be given the rare opportunity to peruse the Master year lookbooks. 

The Fashion Department's transitory relocation​

Due to MoMu Antwerp Fashion Museum's current renovations -and highly anticipated 2020 reopening-, which touches the building housing the Fashion Department, the department will find a temporary haven inside the historical Antwerp landmark Handelsmuseum at the Coquilhatstraat, as of June 2018. Handelsmuseum formerly lodged the Department of Translators and Interpreters and is noted for its monumental neo-baroque façade. 

Walter Van Beirendonck, head of the Fashion Department: "Closely located to the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Handelsmuseum is equipped to accommodate the students of the Fashion Department for two academic terms. We will be hosting EXPO2018 at Handelsmuseum as well, offering visitors the possibility to have a first look around our new momentary home.”
