Since the breakthrough success of the "Antwerp Six" designers at the 1988 British Designer Show, Antwerp has become a key destination on the international fashion circuit. The city's long-awaited fashion museum, MoMu opened in September 2002 and displays the best in Belgian design.

The core of the MoMu permanent collection comprises the collection of the Provincial Textile and Costume Museum Vrieselhof, supplemented with a contemporary collecton concentrating on Belgian fashion designers.
