silk route



the life of a sweater... from the musty sports bag of an early eighties after hours soccer player of fc izegem, to the shelves of a vintage shop in tokyo today, waiting to be bought by a hipster for 9,000 yen.
the in betweens are left to your imagination...



you can find the vintage shop on a second floor gallery in a side street in nakameguro... the red building on the other side of the street is redbook, for those of you who need a point of reference.
izegem on the other hand, twenty kilometers north from where I was born, is known as the town of brooms and shoes ("stad van bustels en skoen"), and famous for its juicy dialect.
