/fa/ - Fashion

the actual article for those who are clueless:

https://belmodo.be/artikel/hier-zijn-de-belmodo-fashion-days

here's the schedule

I expect the response from /fa/ to be pretty mild, but I hope I'll be proven wrong. Not that many here into actual fashion nowadays, beyond the core meme designers

But, damn. Wish I could go

>>10503425
OP here, pretty depressing that self-claimed fashion geniuses don't even respond to an exciting topic like this but rather circlejerk on other topics ...

anyways, here's a pic of last years dries van noten fabric sale

>>10503256

so this is essentially just a really big archive sale? damn I wish I lived in europe

would love to pick up some schnieder/haider/dries

what are the prices typically like?

>>10503430
everything schneider went for 150€ or below (coats inclusive) i also copped a dries sample bomber for 350€
and two years back i copped some raf sneakers for 120€

>>10503439
That's ridiculously cheap, too bad I don't have time to travel this or even next year.

dumping some pictures (didn't bother taking a lot of pictures last year but there's a few to be found online on the belmodo website)

so is it really worth it to go? it's 2 hours by train for me

>>10503458
more raf

>>10503468
i'd say it really is, two years ago we did a small /fa/ meet with some guys from holland who came for the sales

it's a 30 minute drive for me as i live in the brussels area

I saw an ad in the papers about this, is this worth going to or is it going to be hella packed? What day should I go?
Only been lurking /fa/ for about a year and a half now and still developing a style but if I could find stuff to resell that'd be p great.

>>10503426
>pretty depressing that self-claimed fashion geniuses don't even respond
there's probably not even a dozen Belgium based posters on the board

>>10503439
damn sick

>>10503560
I'm going on wednesday between uni classes, wednesday is usually rather packed especially at dries ... that's why i went on saturday last year. don't worry too much about the day, you'll find nice pieces anyhow (unless you're really looking for the very rare archive pieces). I must say going is really worth it, I've been going for years and I always pick up a few pieces

>>10503259
Fuck I want to go so bad but I already blew my budget at Antwerp a couple months ago fuck.

>>10503641
Cheers man, ye I really want some sikk Dries pieces so I'll go Wednesday

must-visit for anyone who's looking for fabric

>>10503426
Can you please explain this event a bit more so that I'm actually motivated to give a shit? it's easy to think you know so much about fashion but it doesnt seem that you're interested in telling people about it.

I can only visit one day.

Which day is /fa/ picking?

>>10503811

I'm not in anyway claiming that I know that much about fashion anyways I don't think anyone would profit from having this discussion.
let me briefly explain the event to you: twice a year there's the stock sales in antwerp (hosted by belmodo). this means a list of designers will sell archive pieces, pieces from the previous collection and rolls of fabric for very cheap. assuming everyone here is interested in fashion, i don't see how you could not be interested in attending an event where you could buy archive pieces from designers and meet fashionable people.

>>10503824
i'm going wednesday but might go back on saturday because they add new pieces to the sale during the week

>>10503831
Sounds quite solid. Is it every year, I would love to go I just can't go this time

>>10503839
i've been going for several years, they do it twice every year
looking forward to this one because i loved dvn aw14

Poorfag here. Are there a lot of items under 150 euros ?
I don't want to go and leave after checking a few price tags lel.
What are the brands I should check besides Schneider like >>10503439 said (beautiful bomber btw) ?

Will it be mostly AW stuff or SS stuff?

>>10503439
this is an incredible piece, that's awesome

i'm american so i get consumed with jealousy whenever these sales roll around. if some of you guys could post pictures after that would be awesome (i'll still be salty i can't go but happy for you)

is anyone into christian wijnants/going to go check it out? very into his silk prints for womenswear

>>10504501
bumping this question, also interested in what kind of budget I should have in mind.

>>10503254
OP do you know what dates the next one will be?

I would go, but I'm 5'7", and most designer clothes are tailored for taller persons, right? Do you think I'll find stuff that will fit me or will it just be a waste of time?

>>10504951
it's also just a bunch of unsold items from last season, so you might actually find more items in your size than me with my regular body and standard sizes :^)

out of curiosity, where do you live?

>>10504993
Brussels. What about you?

>>10503254
shame I can't go for this one, gonna be there for the next one though

what seasons would be available for this one? The collections from this spring or what was available last fall? Stuff from even further back?

>>10503439
radical

>>10505066
Ghent. I'm actually surprised to see this much of response on the thread, quite a bit of Belgians on here after all.

>>10503254

>2015
>still being into fashion

Top kek

OP here

>>10504501
Really depends of what you're looking at and what brands you'll go. Schneiders tends to be really cheap but DVN will still cost you a bit. For reference: I bought a few sweaters at dvn and they cost me around 180€, t-shirts were like 40-60€ and outerwear will still cost you a few hundred euros

>>10504510
>>10505074
these sales are aw only, focus is aw14 pieces but there will always be archive aswell

>>10503840
not everyone is a eurofag

>>10504928
next sale will be in the april / may period, will be ss though !

>>10505066
op here, i'm from brussels aswell, what school are you in? or done studying?

Im kinda in need of money right now and ill be going for the first time. Any of you go there to buy things to sell later on for profit?

>>10506850
Filip used to do this, he runs an online store called 'redux'. I remember him buying bags full of raf shoes, all to sell later

>>10506857
Link to the site ? Can't find it

Tfw it ends the day before my birthday and I'm all out cash. I literally live in the heart of Antwerp. Why god??

>>10507774
P-pls proxy for me.

I'm going on Thursday, I'm definitely going to check Ann D since this will probably be the last chance to cop some stuff actually designed by her on sale. Definitely going to check Dries and Schneider for some cool tops too.

Someone cop some Jan-Jan outerwear and flip on grailed please

>>10508068
I might if my budget allows it

where can I get a reliable belgian plug for this?

>>10509128
the thing is that it's in stores only, so the person will not just bid or order from an online store, but instead they must go out and buy the item in person

bump

What is recommended for people with a lowish Budget?

Nice try.

>>10510756

I'd use you if I had a clearer idea what was for sale.

>>10510756
