WEAR THE DATA – People are the measure of all things.
Clothing tells a story. Data does too. COSH! brings both together in an installation that makes the relationship between people, garments, and behavioural change visible. Through the Digital Wardrobe app and the COSH! Brand Index*, you discover how transparency works in practice.
Discover the data behind the designs of 20 different Flemish makers, including Mon Col, Godfrieds Jeans, Elise Verdegem, and Infantium Victoria. Scan, compare, and choose more consciously. It is not only data that serves people; data and people interact with each other. Visitors literally move from garment to data, and in doing so, understand how technology makes fashion more transparent and fairer.
Other Flemish COSH! Members you will be able to discover: Abelone Wilhelmsen, Andrea Bos, Atelier Heimat, Binôche brillen, Dizzy Optiek, Eef Theys, Fien Demuynck, Ida e volta, Janne Landuyt, Line Vanden Bogaerde, Joseffa Live Twice, Lennertson, Ophelia, Wanne Van Hemelrijck, Zokk’n.
Text canvases by artist Ann Bevers envelop the space in colour and movement. The interior is furnished with circular rental furniture from Muuble. At Binti and Atelier Content, on the same street, you can also discover how the COSH! Digital Wardrobe works in practice.

*The development of the COSH! Brand Index was supported by the City of Antwerp in 2022. The initial development of the Designers and Brand Index within the app was made possible with financial support from VLAIO (more information here). With support from the Province of Flemish Brabant, COSH! developed smart city dashboards. Soon, renting and sharing clothes will be possible within the app thanks to support from Vlaanderen Circulair. For the first time, all the technology will be demonstrated together in one location at the Antwerp Fashion Festival.
