10 promising young fashion designers have developed an accessory for 'Fashion in Style ", an exhibition and competition for Creative Fashion in collaboration with the Flanders Fashion Institute, which celebrates the tenth anniversary of Maasmechelen Village. Toon Geboers, Sofie Claes, Nathalie Fordeyn, Nele Cattrysse, Lieze Platteeuw, Lea Pekcre, Judith Thomas, Kim Stumpf, Ann Bruggeman and Angelo Van Mol, were selected to design a men's or women's accessory.
Flanders Fashion Institute will reveil the results of their efforts on September 22, and a jury will pick two winners. But the audience gets the chance to pick a favorite too. From September 24 to October 19, the exclusive creations can be admired in the Village you can cast your vote in Maasmechelen or on the website.
The big closing of the "Ten Years of Style" is the birthday celebration party on October 21, with special guest Anouck Lepère, Ambassador of Maasmechelen Village. The audience's favorite will be announced that day, and each design will be auctioned for the benefit of Kageno, an organization that helps develop the impoverished communities in Rwanda and Kenya.
