If “wardrobe” to you equals “treasure chest”, head over to Eva Velazquez’.
This Belgian designer, weary of fast fashion after a ten-year stint at a big commercial brand, will be happy to share ghost stories and is a master at upcycling ancient clothes. She thrifts old peasant gear and collects the content of forgotten attics all over Europe, carefully restores it all and sells the result in her two-storied boutique near the place Brugmann. Sounds stuffy? Think again, the collections are fresh and surprisingly modern looking!
Franz Merjaystraat 56, 1050 Brussels
