1. Karolin Van Loon x Genieve Figgis x MoMu nail polish set
This nail polish set adds a new layer to the term ‘nail art’. Irish artist Genieve Figgis selected three shades from the colour palette of designer Karolin Van Loon. The nail polish is vegan, eco-friendly, and 12-free.
2. MoMu pouch and sleep mask set
This stylish set combines historical charm with modern functionality. The pouch and sleep mask are covered in a print from a late 19th-century afternoon dress from the MoMu Collection.
3. MoMu x Inge Grognard make-up collab
Make-up artist Inge Grognard designed a set of three fake tattoos for Masquerade, Make-up & Ensor, inspired by her make-up for the Autumn-Winter 1998-99 collection of Dirk Bikkembergs.
In addition, there is a collection of oversized shirts, inspired by iconic fashion images created by Grognard together with photographer Ronald Stoops. Each shirt is screen-printed.
4. Masquerade, Make-up & Ensor book
Does Masquerade, Make-up & Ensor still resonate with you? Be sure to get the accompanying publication, published by Lannoo. Like the exhibition, the essays and interviews in this book highlight how deeply make-up is intertwined with the many aspects of our being human.
5. MoMu x Brecht Vandenbroucke mask set
Create your own artwork with this set of three masks, designed by Antwerp artist Brecht Vandenbroucke. In addition to an illustrated mask, there’s one to colour in and another for stickers or drawings.
6. Martin Margiela x Inge Grognard zine
This limited-edition zine features never-before-published material by Martin Margiela and Inge Grognard: the iconic make-up looks they created together for Maison Martin Margiela between 1988 and 2008.
7. MoMu x Beni Bischof T-shirt
In celebration of DO NOTHING CLUB, his installation with Belgian fashion design Meryll Rogge in the collection presentation, Swiss artist Beni Bischof exclusively launches a unique T-shirt at MoMu Shop.
8. LERRY ceramics cup and plate
Belgian ceramist Elke Vanlerberghe handcrafts each piece. Her playful creations are the result of a combination of clay, glaze, and decorations. If her ceramics make you smile, her mission is complete.
9. Walter Van Beirendonck scarf
This eye-catching scarf from Walter Van Beirendonck will keep you warm during the winter. The colorful graphic patterns and traditional jacquard techniques reflect the bold, artistic signature of the Antwerp fashion legend.
10. Park Pardon mask
Masks can be used to hide an identity, but are also inherently tied to commemorations and celebrations in cultures worldwide. Park Pardon creates unique, hand-painted masks, made in Antwerp. Hang it on your wall or display it in your interior.
11. Laura Welker candle holder
Laura Welker, an alumna of the Antwerp Fashion Department, knows how to transform everyday objects into unique items with a twist. Her handmade candle holders, ‘hot legs’, come with a stamped ‘shoebox’.
12. Nightfall sex toy
Filip Arickx, half of the former fashion duo A.F.Vandevorst, aims to take sex toys out of the taboo sphere with his collection. The objects also serve as luxurious design pieces and come in a carefully crafted ‘faux livre’ or smuggling book.
