Stof-e-ring: 4th biennial fashion and textile. Part 1

Every two years an exhibition about fashion and textile is launched in Ghent. The exhibited work is made by established artists, but also by fashion students as a project. This weekend the exhibition ends with a fashion-market and fashion show (I'll be going to both, so you can expect a report about both of them). The exhibition is a tour on four locations: two musea, a church and a bank. Stof-e-ring ends the 30th of may. The tour costs 5€.


I admired this work by Pieter Coene, called “Requiem”. The dresses were inspired by the tapestry, portraying the Gods Apollo, Diana, Mars, Minerva and Venus, in the room. I photographed my favourite dresses.


























I loved these “Texture dresses” made by Syntra students:



They were really well made and would look great on the red carpet.
Syntra is a school that offers practically-oriented colleges.

















The following work “Te(ks)tures marching on” is by Jan Welvaert. It shows children costumes with a reference to blue china porcelain.


Don’t you just love these hats by Anke Tacq? Her work is called “Textuur-Kwetsuur” (Texture- Injury)
