Get in the Haze

So my day started out kinda weired. I wasnt able to sleep for a long time must have something to do with the moon i guess.
A friend-Bloggeress of mine, Anna, told me a day before to make sure i go to the opening of the fashion exhibition "Get in the Haze" showing at the Quartier21 in Vienna.





At first i didn't want to go cause i expected a "one of those" exhibitions. But i must say i am glad that i went. It was a very positive surprise!
Allthough i think that its not quite that hard to take a handful of students at the Antwerp Academy and place them in an exhibition. Nevertheless i really liked it :) and recomend to see it!
