Every two years during the same period and over three consecutive days, the Modo-Bruxellae Designers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Trail invites the public to visit a large number of exhibition spaces to view the work of Brussels fashion designers and fashion brands, grouped around a central information and starting point. This year +nurse+ is at Boomba’s hairdressing parlour with a window display.

We chose to work on images of Brussels’ modernist buildings which have either been pulled down or renovated to change their aspect (Martini tower, Lotto tower, Berlaymont, Atomium, Ravenstein gallery, Finance tower…). We printed a series of handkerchieves and silk scarves, sometimes with a recognisable image, which at othertimes was blown up to a large scale and used in a more abstract way. <\/p>\n <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> Modo-bruxellae 2004: +NURSE+<\/strong> A serie of printed vintage slips, featuring the female characters Cinop\u00c3\u00a9, Penthesilae, Judith, Ya\u00c3\u00abl. figures extracted from a 16th c tapestry \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The triumph of strength\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. <\/a><\/p>\n ‘The Triumph of Fortitude’, c1525, Flemish.<\/p>\n <\/a> Modo-bruxellae 2002: +NURSE+<\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Window installation at Underwear and photo shoot.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Following the designer trail, +Nurse+ garnments were sold at Underwear, and later acquired and worn by Belgian musician and singer Axelle Red for her nomination at the NRJ Awards 2003 and Victoires de la musique 2003.
