How was this work conceived?

The collaborative project with Anastasia was designed specifically for Window. We looked for a theme that would allow us to bring our two worlds together and that would be “light” enough for a summer window display. We were amused by the idea of a collection of works designed for a trip to the beach, and the beach cabana came to mind quite naturally, given how common they still are on the Belgian coast today. At the beginning of the last century, these cabins were trailers equipped with curtains to allow women to change and access the water directly; we liked the idea of this sense of privacy for a window display that mimics the conventions of ready-to-wear fashion.

What is your favourite window?

The pointed-arch windows of an old 13th-century Orthodox church in the mountains of Naxos, Greece. No stained-glass windows, just damaged wire mesh, and no view except for the blinding sunlight that perfectly illuminates this small, cryptic sanctuary.
