For the 50th birthday of Woluwe Shopping, I was asked to do my thing in one of the squares they build in the shopping mall. My theme to work with was "the future".
I created a capsule collection of garments inspired by Mexico, the typical local garb, the landscapes, colors, music, textures, and undeniably- the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.
For this collection, I was inspired by an ethnic costume I had created earlier during my studies Stedelijke Academie. It was the costume of Epke Masquerade, from Nigeria.
At Salon du Chocolat, chocolatiers and fashion designers are known to create exceptional clothing and object d'art using chocolate. Callebaut asked me to be their designer for the 2016 edition in Brussels Expo, Belgium.
