At the end of every school year, the Fashion department of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp - AP University College shoots off new talent into the world to help shape the future of fashion. This year, SHOW2016, the traditional graduation show, is accompanied by the release of the Academy's very first independent publication, called 'MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL'. With Academy Director Walter Van Beirendonck at the helm of a team of Belgian fashion icons as contributors, this beautiful 176-page magazine and soon-to-be sold-out collector's item, is an event in itself.
 
Alongside talks with all 2016 Master students, you'll find exclusive fashion editorials shot by Ronald Stoops, Pierre Debusschere and Bruna Kazinoti. In a series of singular, deep-delving and inspiring interviews, designer, teacher and Antwerp Six member Dirk Van Saene, punk icon Linder Sterling and internationally renowned antiquarian and curator Axel Vervoordt open up about process, growth, the importance of scalpels, boredom and the fearless exploration of the self. For the very first time, Walter Van Beirendonck and Tony Delcampe of Brussels fashion academy La Cambre sit down together to join forces and make a clear statement against the divisive forces of our time.
 
MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL will be available at SHOW2016
