The fashion programme at KASK & Conservatorium (HOGENT - Howest) is known for its unique vision. "The other way," says coordinator Liesbeth Louwyck, "which challenges our sector on a daily basis. The students explore artistic and personal boundaries with a critical eye for the industry and the landscape they will enter as young designers. Our department focuses on self-reflection as a building block of the creative process, in order to continuously challenge the existing system and search for a personal signature in that field of tension."

The exhibition is free and open to the public. Tickets for the shows cost €18 standard rate and €8 for students, under 26, job seekers and UitPAS holders.

We offer a free ticket to press contacts. You can request one by replying to this email with the time of the show you would like to attend (17:00 or 19:00).

To spotlight their graduation presenations, fashion students organised a 48-hour sewing marathon in the ChopinChopin studio. There, they worked on their end-of-year collections in full view of the entire city.

You can already catch a glimpse of these collections, because in the run-up to the fashion show, the bachelor students are presenting silhouettes in 29 shop windows in Ghent city centre. They have mapped out a walking route, starting at Dampoort station and ending at Campus Bijloke.
