Fashion trail

First of all, take some paper and pencils. Then find some material, scissors and pins. From conception to catwalk, an item of clothing is born of inspiration. In Belgium, the Schools of Design are inexhaustible mines of talent. And as Brussels is at the busy crossroads between Latin and Germanic cultures, an open mind and a healthy curiosity are not the preserve of the happy few.

The shops and studios that are springing up along Rue Antoine Dansaert provide a good sample: fashion for women, men, children and even babies, from head to toe, naturally.

From the latest, slightly over-the-top creations to clothes with sober colours and discreet designs, it’s difficult to resist the temptation. Dedicated followers of specific eras will even find luxury second-hand clothes shops specialising in the 60s, 70s and 80s for that eerily authentic look!

Fans of lace and old finery should thread their way to the Costume and Lace Museum alongside the Grand-Place, while those who want to know what we’ll be wearing tomorrow should head for the hive of activity of Modo Bruxellae, an association that sets out to promote Brussels fashion.
