How Menswear is Making a Comeback
The last few years, fashion has urbanized. Streetwear was omnipresent, and brands like OFF WHITE and Nike were making weekly headway with a new sneaker release or streetwear collection. Even appointing Virgil Abloh as Menswear Designer at Louis Vuitton or the rise of A Cold Wall as a high-end fashion brand is a telling of the times.

Destination: Brussels
Brussels is known for its chocolate, beers, mussels and rich diversity in cultural influences.
