Book Description

Publication Date: April 2, 2002

Antwerp=Fashion=Culture=Mode 2001=Landed-Geland. This equation stands for the cosmopolitan, idiosyncratic, fascinating and stimulating event that was Landed-Geland, a six-month, citywide, multimedia extravaganza that recently colored and clothed the city of Antwerp in the name of fashion. 25 rotating billboards displayed 75 radical images by international designers; the exhibit Mutilate? examined the phenomenon of fashion from an ethnic and historical perspective; another exhibit, 2 Women, examined Gabrielle Chang and Rei Kawakubo, two maverick designers of indisputable importance; and 300 interviewees were asked the question: "What was your most intense emotion ever as regards fashion?" And here is the catalogue.
