Haute-à-Porter - Filep Motwary

Why this book is a must-read - reviewed by the KAAI team

"This book had a huge impact on me because it represents one of the best fashion exhibitions ever held at the Fashion Museum in Hasselt. Ever since I was a child, I visited exhibitions there with my grandmother so often that, after a while, the staff at the reception even started recognizing us.

Haute-à-Porter was an exhibition in 2016 that explored the use of haute couture techniques and their influence on prêt-à-porter collections. With phenomenal pieces from designers like Alexander McQueen, Galliano for Dior, Thierry Mugler, and Christian Lacroix, it left a lasting impression on me."
