50

The Fashion & Lace Museum is celebrating its 50th anniversary!

To mark this occasion, we could showcase the most iconic pieces from our collections or the greatest Belgian and Brussels-based creations… Yes, but that’s not all! The museum team would like to explore with you what it means to be a fashion museum today.

Never before has fashion received so much media attention. The major fashion houses are competing with one another in terms of ingenuity and staging to display their heritage. What is the role of a museum? How does it stand out? Which pieces should we preserve today to tell tomorrow’s story?

Through 50 works from its collections, the museum reveals itself in a new light: it shares its questions, choices and reflections, and invites you to become part of its story.
