Hasselt Fashion Museum
The Vulgar:
Fashion Redefined
30 SEPTEMBER 2017 UNTIL 14 January 2018
This unique exhibition explores the boundaries between
good taste and bad taste in fashion. By means of fashion
objects through five hundred years of history – from the
Renaissance until today – we follow the evolution of
vulgarity. How do you feel about good and bad taste in
fashion?
Forever Young
10 FEBRUARY UNTIL 10 JUNE 2018
Is fashion Forever Young? Contemporary designers are
actually devoting entire collections to the concept of
youth. Think about Raf Simons, or fashion icons like
Kate Moss and Iris Apfel who look forever young. This
provocative exhibition scrutinises the quest for eternal
youth, identity and gender. This offers you an original
view on kids' and teens' fashion from the 18th century
onwards.

This fashion museum is a must for any true
fashion enthusiast. In the atmospheric
