I'm not a person that is very interested in following fashion but I am very interested in fashion as a cultural phenomenon. I love seeing historical clothes and accessories so a visit to an exhibit promising me just that sounds good to me!

The museum of Costume and Lace is a small museum in Brussels with a great collection. The current exhibit (un till 21-8-2007) is called "Fashion Stories".
You get to see interesting clothes from the 18th to the 20th century which they have recently acquired. It's not a lot of clothes because it is a small museum but they are interesting none the less. Some of the earlier dresses have prints you'd never expect in the late 18th century. They also have some impressive pieces of lace!

It's a fun little museum to visit and it's not expensive either so just give it a try!
Oh and the museum is in a street with a very nice name: Violetstreet. Great name right?
