b'Kaat Debo is the director and chief curator at MoMu, the fashion museum in Antwerp, Belgium. Belgium is famous as a key fashion location, not just for producing contemporary star names such as Raf Simons and Glenn Martens, but also for the Antwerp Six, a group of designers who came to prominence in the 90s and became celebrated for their groundbreaking designs. In September this year, MoMu reopened after an expansive renovation which was begun in 2018. Danielle speaks to Kaat about what it\\u2019s like being at the forefront of progressive museum thinking - from experimenting with live and digital performances, to challenging the authority of the institution voice - and why it\\u2019s so hard to find diverse mannequins to exhibit clothes on.'
