    New Veronique Branquinho Exhibition at MoMu



    [Y]



    A few pictures here http://www.momu.be/



    From Wednesday, 12 March, through Sunday, 17 August, 2008, the Fashion Museum of the Province of Antwerp
    (MoMu) will present the exhibition ?MOI, VERONIQUE. Branquinho, to(u)t(e) nu(e)?, marking the tenth anniversary
    of the Veronique Branquinho designer label.

    Veronique Branquinho graduated from the fashion department of the Antwerp Royal Academy in 1995. She first
    presented her women?s collection in Paris in October of 1997. In 2003, she added her men?s line and opened her
    flagship store in Antwerp.

    In this first retrospective exhibition, the designer lets us look inside her ambiguous, suggestive world, where birch
    forests bathe in moonlight and men warm themselves around a fireplace with glasses of whiskey. She gives an
    overview of the themes and atmospheres that have been decisive in her work and give her collections her unique
    signature. References to film, photography and music, which continue to reappear in her presentations and visual
    language, will also receive ample attention.

    Duality is a constant in Veronique?s world: attracting and repelling, playing and pushing away again. Things are
    never what they seem. The woman in Veronique?s oeuvre is at once innocent and erotic, playful yet severe,
    mysterious and always complex. Returning elements, such as long dresses and concealing capes make one
    curious, never giving everything away.

    Veronique Branquinho has invited the Blitz collective ? writer Oscar van den Boogaard, actor Steven Van
    Watermeulen and Sven Grooten of B-architects ? to help her hone her concept and scenography for the
    exhibition.

    Guest curators: Veronique Branquinho and Blitz - Scenography: B-architects

    Faust, if there is a book or any literature to accompany this exhibit, do you think you might be able to pick it up for me? [51]
