REVERSE: Afterparty

This spring, MoMu called on young people aged 16 to 25 with a passion for fashion and design to share their creations through REVERSE.

The ten selected participants are invited to a month-long workshop programme at hetpaleis in March. This year’s group will be paired with ten young designers who took part in the first edition of REVERSE in 2025. Guided by both their peers and by fashion professionals, they will create their own unique looks with deadstock fabrics. With this initiative, MoMu, together with community builder Alex Akuete, aims not only to help them develop their creative talents, but also to raise awareness about the environmental impact of fashion.

On Friday, 17 April, the young designers will present the results of their workshop month, their own collection, during a transdisciplinary fashion parade through the city. After the fashion parade, you are invited to MoMu for the REVERSE afterparty with DJ Ampomah Secure.

REVERSE is a project by MoMu in collaboration with Alex Akuete, with the support of EventFlanders. Our thanks also goes to hetpaleis.
