SAENE, Dirk Van. “The Front Row” 2026.

(Antwerp, Belgium): MoMu – Fashion Museum Antwerp, 2026. First edition. Softcover. 21 × 14.9 cm. Limited-edition zine documenting a recreation of Dirk Van Saene’s Autumn/Winter 1998–1999 runway collection presentation. Rather than staging a conventional runway show, Van Saene originally presented the collection on slowly rotating motorised mannequins, encouraging viewers to focus on the garments rather than the models. For the recreation, Van Saene has added a tongue-in-cheek imagined fashion-show front row, populated by figures wearing expressive masks, also created by Van Saene, suggesting that those watching can become as much a spectacle as the collection itself. A near-fine copy in stapled wrappers, housed in the original zip-lock bag.
