Happy birthday

This fall the Royal Academy of Antwerp is celebrating it's 350 years existence. Throughout the city there are several exhibitions showcasing works of the famous students, special events, art walks and artwork on the streets and squares. 2013 also marks the 50th birthday of the world-renowned Fashion Department. Since the graduation of the famous Antwerp Six it has been one of the most prestigious fashion schools in the world. I went to see the retrospective in the MoMu, which started off with the establishment of the course in 1963 by Mary Prijot. The curriculum, graduation shows, the careers of the alumni, the graphic design in fashion - the exhibition shows beautiful designs and leaves one feeling inspired. Must-see!
