A/part unveils a collection of 20 unique collaborations between established and emerging fashion designers, creative talent and Antwerp retailers including Raf Simons, Walter Beirendonck, Jan-Jan Van Essche and Meryll Rogge… The unexpected collection reveals a limited edition of products ranging from jewellery, to clothing to design objects, available for purchase at 20 selected Antwerp stores.

P.LACE.S

P.LACE.S, the latest exhibition as part of Fashion 2.021, explores the significant role the city of Antwerp played in the production and trade of lace throughout history. Presenting archival documents, historical lace, modernised fashion pieces and international collections, the space highlights the socio-economic and artistic importance of lace… starting a unique conversation between historical textile craft and contemporary fashion from a different perspective… playing on the past and present, history and technology.

The visitors will also have a chance to discover today’s innovative designers that are experimenting with lace such as; Iris van Herpen, Azzedine Alaïa, Prada, Chanel and Louis Vuitton.
