After London Fashion Week, Belgium fashion talents are heading to Paris. Unfortunately I want go to Paris but if you do make sure you visit it.
From 3 until 7 March 2012 the Flanders Fashion Institute (FFI) and Wallonie-Bruxelles Design/Mode (WBDM) will be joining the Parisian Fashion Week for the fourth time with one common platform for Belgian fashion talent.

The C-mine pop up shop is an initiative of Creative Drive, a project by city Genk and Design Platform Limburg, in collaboration with the Faculty MAD and funded by Interreg IV A EMR.

Last Friday, 16th of September the C-Mine Pop Up Shop has opened doors for public. It was a very nice evening. Lot of designers I allready knew but overall it was all very well presented.
Surprise was the work of Noortje de la Haye and the shoes by Honeylon.
At the opening there was also a very interesting lecture by Nalden.
Nalden, founder of WE transfer and international Nalden.net blog, will talked about his fascinating insights into personal branding and how to make business more successful.
