Review Diane Pernet by Michael James O'Brien. November 2009


Dear Shaded Viewers and dear Diane,
Last night, on an unseasonably mild Antwerp evening, Giuseppe Virgone (ex-La Cambre in Brussels) presented
his cool collection as a site specific installation at ra, where the selling floor has been cleared to install
a faux marble amphitheatre for his young gladiators. The bespoke men’s collection called ‘un animal devra
mourir’ had medieval overtones and featured beautiful masks by Guillaume Airiaud.
