The Most Podcast - Episode 40: Kaat Debo

Episode 40! Director & Chief Curator of MoMu – Fashion Museum Antwerp, Kaat Debo, joins Dominique Nzeyimana for a sit-down. Kaat Debo is one of the foremost guardians and champions of Belgian fashion as well as a noted author whose staple publications shed new light on greats like Martin Margiela, Olivier Theyskens & Walter Van Beirendonck.

You’ll also hear Kaat Debo’s choice memories of working with designer legends like Walter Van Beirendonck, Dries Van Noten and Stephen Jones and the importance of trust to build an exhibition, the future of sustainability at MoMu and what it means to be a hub for fashion culture.
