Last Friday MoMu welcomed the fashion students of the Reykjavik School of Design. Not only did we provide an interesting insight into our current exhibition about Abraham’s vision and working, but they also got the opportunity to take a look behind the scenes at MoMu with our curator Frieda Sorber.

During their trip down fashion’s memory lane at the library storage, the students also saw exclusive hand painted fashion illustrations of the nineteenth century and pattern books of Voortman, the former textile company in Ghent.
