Thoughts: Antwerp …fashion capital or not?

“…maybe a few years ago”

Antwerp … I’ve been told it’s the capital of fashion. Unfortunately it was quite disappointing …in fact it was hard capturing interesting looks on the streets. After being there for 3 days it shot some looks and with one of them I had an interesting conversation about fashion in Antwerp. She told me the fashion in getting worse in Antwerp and that she often visits The Netherlands for interesting fashion.

Of course I’m not that familiar with Antwerp and therefore maybe didn’t went to the places I should have …but still it’s quite bad. From what I’m used to spot in Amsterdam my expectations of Antwerp were high. Well …at least I can check that off the list.

What do think of Antwerp? Fashion capital or not?
