Mode 2001, Vol 2 - Landed (English, French, Hardcover, illustrated edition)

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. Twenty five rotating billboards displayed 75 radical images by international designers. The exhibit Mutilate? examined the phenomenon of fashion from an ethnic and historical perspective and another exhibit, 2 Women, examined Gabrielle Chang and Rei Kawakubo, two rebel designers of indisputable importance. The 300 interviewees were asked the question: What was your most intense emotion ever as regards fashion? And here is the catalog, divided into two parts, with Part I providing all of the fascinating conceptual framework, and Part II vivid and complete photographic documentation of the exhibit that temporarily changed the look of Antwerp.
