Founded on 21 September 2002, the museum collects, conserves, studies and exhibits objects related to textiles and fashion creations. The museum pays particular attention to the creations of Belgian contemporary fashion designers such as the Antwerp-based fashion designers (Martin Margiela, Dries Van Noten, Ann Demeulemeester, Walter Van Beirendonck, Dirk Van Saene, A.F. Vandevorst, etc) who became famous from the 1980s and 1990s. The museum's first director was Linda Loppa who was also the founder and the director of the Fashion school of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. The current director and chief curator is Kaat Debo. The museum is under the administration of Antwerp province. The regular exhibitions in the museum adopt scenography which aims to immerse the visitor in the world of the designer or the theme. Visitors are "immersed in the world of the designer or the theme", allowing for a unique experience with every exhibition.
