Further to the trompe l’oeil exhibition started yesterday at Musée des Arts Décoratifs, here are some pictures of the surreal creations of Elsa Schiaparelli.

These photos are taken from the book Unravel, knitting in fashion, catalog of the exhibition that took place at the MoMu of Antwerp MoMu a few months ago.

Two little days in Antwerp, belgian capital of fashion, time for sightseeing, discover interesting places and of course, to see the show of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts .

I met Sandra Blacklund, smiling at Antwerpen Centraal, the main railway station, looking, like me, for the exit with taxis…

I discover Sien, Louis & Ra, the edgy shops of the city, also that vintage is a serious job in Antwerp. I spend a beautiful moment and learn almost  everything about knitwear in fashion at the museum of fashion (MoMu).

Meet, by chance, Zoë Vermeire (from La Cambre 2011) and creator of wonderful coats.

And see the show of the school led by M. Walter Van Bereindonck (below).
