To mark the opening of its new Studio, the Fashion & Lace Museum invites you to immerse yourself in the world of Berthe De Camps and Louis Wittamer, a designer couple who typified a way of thinking about fashion in Brussels from the 1950s to 1970s.
Under the labels ‘Valens’ and ‘Jane d’Anjou’, their work ranged from adaptations of Parisian models to unique pieces. Their fashion house was particularly renowned for the quality of its embroidery on sumptuous wedding dresses and ball gowns, which regularly featured in newspapers of the time.
The Wittamer-De Camps and fashion not only highlights their best-known creations, but also offers a unique glimpse into their history. Through their works, the Studio reveals how the Brussels fashion sector designed itself to echo that of Paris, while also asserting its own identity.
