Holiday feeling with focus on fashion & design

The streets in the Belgian quarter slowly fill up around mid-morning with fashion-loving visitors in colourful dresses, airy tan tops or in the trendy hippie look with flower hair bands. Along with music and a cup or two of Malibu, the guests are amazed at the fashion of the urban and small “in” boutiques in the Belgian quarter. Not only the children are happy about the colourful balloons, bags swing back and forth in many hands.
