20 unique products - The result of 20 unique collaborations between fashion designers, creative talent and Antwerp shops - waiting to be discovered between 4 and 20 November in 20 Antwerp shops

These 20 unique collaborations were set up for the reopening of the MoMu. Established fashion brands and emerging fashion designers, creative talent and Antwerp retailers worked together for the first time. The result of these 20 collaborations is 20 unique products, waiting to be discovered and purchased in 20 Antwerp shops between 4 and 20 November.

FASHION 2.021

A/part is a part of 'Fashion 2.021 Antwerp - Fashion/Conscious', a fashion festival to celebrate the reopening of Antwerp ModeMuseum in September 2021. The renovated museum will be celebrated throughout the entire year by way of an ambitious programme designed to highlight the Antwerp fashion industry in general.

Twenty unique collaborations were set up for A/part, pairing both established names and emerging talent in the fashion, art, music, film and retail sectors. 

CURATOR BALOJI

Artist and musician Baloji was approached to select the collaborations as curator. With his unique network and perspective of the sector, this multi-talented Belgian was able to create unexpected and original collaborations and stimulate creative cross-pollination across a variety of disciplines in a way no-one else could. According to curator Baloji, the public can therefore expect amazing collaborations and equally amazing and unique products.

20 UNIQUE COLLABORATIONS

The list of participating parties is impressive, ranging from actors and fashion designers to well-known retailers and musicians: A/part can count on a diverse and talented team. Such large retailers as JBC, ESSENTIEL ANTWERP, CAFÉ COSTUME and A.S.ADVENTURE are taking part, alongside new players like KOMONO and VIER. Fresh fashion talents including MERYLL ROGGE, D'HEYGERE, JULIE KEGELS and TOM VANDERBORGHT appear next to well-known names such as RAF SIMONS, CHRISTIAN WIJNANTS JAN-JAN VAN ESSCHE, duos AN VANDEVORST & FILIP ARICKX and WOUTERS & HENDRIX and WALTER VAN BEIRENDONCK.
