Fashion Film: Maagdenhuis

by Rei Nadal on 15 September 2021

To mark the occasion of MoMu’s P.LACE.S - Looking through Antwerp Lace exhibition, the fashion museum of Antwerp asked SHOWstudio to create an artistic intervention for the show.

Filmmaker Rei Nadal's response was as poetic and romantic as it was eerily nostalgic. Visually inspired by classical Dutch paintings from the 17th century, Maagdenhuis takes its name from The Maagdenhuis Museum - located in a 17th-century historic building - originally used as an orphanage for the maegdeckens, or maidens, up until the 19th century. Particularly inspired by the building's history, Nadal's film follows the tale of three little girls who used to live in the historical site, making lace. Styled by Ai Kamoshita, the models in beautiful lace pieces, fashioned from the likes of Bora Aksu, Yuhan Wang, Chopova Lowena and ROBERTS | WOOD.
