Description of the exhibition

For A/part 20 unique collaborations were set up between established and upcoming talents in fashion, art, music, film ànd retail. To curate the selection of the participating parties, artist and musician Baloji was approached. The Belgian multi-talent has a unique vision and network and was able to establish surprising and original collaborations, and stimulate creative crossovers. According to curator Baloji the public can expect nothing less than surprising collabs and highly original products.

Do you want to be among the first to discover the collector's items? Then come to Antwerp on Thursday evening 4 November, when all participating stores will be open until 8 p.m. for the launch of A/part. Street performances and festive music will turn your shopping experience into a real party. And, of course, the designers themselves will also be present. Now, how often do you get the chance to bump into Raf Simons, Tamino or Walter Van Beirendonck?

By stimulating collaborations between fashion and other creative talents, A/part wants to put the spotlight on the local fashion and retail industry. The enormous pool of talent that makes Antwerp a fashion capital, is thus again confirmed.

Each collab resulted in a concrete product, every time surprising and unique. Ranging from clothing over jewels to design objects, each collab focused on creativity and innovation. All products will be temporarily available in the 20 participating shops in Antwerp between November 4 and 20.
