MoMu - Antwerp Fashion Museum

About this audio guide

This guide to MoMu, the fashion museum in Antwerp, follows Mary Prijot, the painter who launched the Royal Academy's fashion department in nineteen sixty-three and ran it on a strictly Parisian idea of elegance. It reaches into the early nineteen eighties, when punk and Japanese designers were remaking clothes outside her classroom and students like Ann Demeulemeester and Dries Van Noten wanted something else inside it. Best heard in the atrium, at the foot of the big wooden staircase.
