For the 2024 issue: TLmag40: The Ideal Home, curator Romy Cockx wrote about the relationship between fashion and interiors in an essay titled: Wearing the Home in Times of Anxiety. This is a subject which she explores more deeply in the current exhibition: Fashion & Interiors: A Gendered Affair, currently on view at MoMu, the Fashion Museum in Antwerp. Fashion & Interiors: A Gendered Affair explores the interaction between fashion and interiors, with a focus on complex gender dynamics. The exhibition also examines the responses of several influential designers, with a particular emphasis on the visual fusion between these two forms of expression. Herewith is Cockx’s essay reproduced in full with images from the exhibition.
