BERGEN, A POP-UP BOOK – TEXT BY PHILIPPE POURHASHEMI PHOTOS BY VINCENT DECHAMPS

Dear Shaded Viewers,

Following the success of their previous Oslo event, the Bergen pop-up crew came to Brussels and had no problems conquering the Belgian fashion crowd. Showcased in what will soon become the city's Fashion and Design Center, the selection focused on 5 exciting talents, namely Norwegian Rain, Davor Mutic's dMajuscule, T Michael's crisp tailoring, Catherine Rosseland's DoubleYou Perfume and Hansen, a beautiful menswear line I discovered for the first time. Guests mingled and shopped while talking to the designers.

The fashion season has kicked off and this event started it in style. The pop-up store is on until Monday, from 10am until 7pm at Nouveau March
