Modo Fashion Weekend…

‘Le Parcours Modo” is an event taking place every two years for a whole weekend in Brussels fashion district, The “Rue Dansaert“. OK it’s more or less a street but district sounds way better 😉 

Designers are invited to showcase their work giving their own interpretation of Belgian fashion, in either their own boutique or as a ephemeral exhibit in another one. Although we could visit each boutique in the order that we want, and skip the ones that interest us less, there was one stop that was “mandatory”… The ELLE Cafe! The Elle team temporary “hijacked” a school cafeteria for the weekend and converted it into the place to be. It was the meeting point for all bloggers, another occasion to get to know each others while looking at the picture collection of Sabrina Clash. And the place to re charge our energy levels thanks to the Vitamin Water point.

After a Multi V lemonade, off I went to my first destination: the Belgian couture lingerie designer, Carine Gilson, nominated for this year ELLE Style Awards. In an unique world 100% silk her delicate and hand made pieces were worth the trip (hum… which was one minute long as I just crossed the road, literally) But anyway… Everything on display is in limited edition but can be made on order in approximately a week for basics, add more time for corset and intricate designs. If you had to have something hand made, shouldn’t it be your lingerie?
