29/04 - Antwerp

We came to Antwerp for the fashion, not particularily the Antwerp 6. The Fashion Design School is situated nicely in the heart of everything. When we were there, they had a good show on paper fashion. Particularily impressive was a video on a fashion show done by Brazilian Japanese designer Jum Nakao http://www.jumnakao.com.br/ . His show of paper dresses and how each model tore apart her dress at the end of the show was phenomenal. Also worth noting were Issey Miyake's paper dresses. After the show, we strolled through the downtown and found a few interesting fashion boutiques.

28/04 - Bed, Bath & Bread, Antwerp

A comfortable treat for us after many days of hostels. Bed, Bath & Bread of Antwerp, a B&B with only 3 rooms.

28/04 - Antwerpen Centraal Station

A beautiful train station. A unique mix of architectural styles in the old terminal, and an nicely done expansion in the interior that house the high speed railway platforms recently completed. A nice Belgian welcome for us, after the long-haul train ride which took us most of the day, from Caen, then Paris, Lille, and finally Antwerp.
