Manneken Pis gets his first dress


Listen Later

Brussels' native daughter Diane von Furstenberg has been back in her hometown for a number of different events in the last few months. She was honored by the city and there was a retrospective of her career at the Fashion & Lace Museum.
Most recently she inaugurated a new costume for the Manneken Pis; a pint-sized version of her iconic wrap dress cut from the dress she wore on the cover of Newsweek fifty years ago. Nicolas Lore, head of exhibitions and publications at the Fashion & Lace Museum, and Brussels Mayor Philippe Close talk to us about what DvF means for Brussels.
