BEIRENDONCK, Walter van AND Luc DERYCKE. Mode 2001 Landed-Geland.

(Antwerp): Merz, 2001. First edition. Three volumes and promotional pack. Dutch text. Issued to coincide with the mammoth and amazing fashion event curated by Walter Van Beirendonck. Mode 2001 Landed-Geland was an ambitious five-month cultural project that comprised of four imaginative exhibitions and a series of events that gave public recognition to the powerful voice of Flemish fashion. The volumes are a celebration of the events with features on the radical Belgian designers who formed the famed Antwerp 6, as well as Rei Kawakubo, Comme des Garcons, Viktor & Rolf, and other fashion radicals. The promotional pack includes publicity material, postcards, a poster and invites to the events. All items in at least near fine condition, volume two unopened and still sealed. A remarkable record of this extravagent fashion event. Rare as a complete set, particularly with the publicity pack.
