MOOI is a learning network that builds on the vision and future of Antwerp fashion through interdisciplinary collaborations and experimentation.
Our theoretical framework is shaped through five strategic themes:
Boundless education, Circular storytelling, Materialised value, The act of fashion and Humane consumerism.
These themes indicate the priorities within our vision. To shape that vision we work together with interdisciplinary teams of experts, designers, communities, interest groups, etc. This results in an action programme with concrete projects that give new meaning to sustainable fashion within these five themes.
The current website summarises the 2018 edition.
De Studio becomes a showroom for a selection of Belgian creators who design for a better future.
MOOI asks questions, and invites everybody to think along during talks, presentations and paneldiscussions.
different artists show work on the edge of fashion & art.
a whole weekend long you can discover short films and documentaries on fashion.
MOOI will host the first Fashtech Hackathon in Belgium, where developers and digital strategists join forces with sustainability experts and fashion designers.
MOOI is organized by Villanella in collaboration with la fille d’O and with the support of 11.11.11., Flanders DC, the Province of Antwerp and Flanders.
