ANTWERP, MARRAKECH & MADEIRA IN RED

Last month I wrote an article for Dutch magazine Red. Theme: you’ve booked your summer holiday but want to get away again. For 1 night (Antwerp), 1 weekend (Marrakech) and 1 week (Madeira). 

In Antwerp I recommend (among others) Ra, Graanmarkt 13, Felix Pakhuis, Cargo Zomerbar, Sleep in the City and Soul Suites. In Marrakech you have to stay at P’tit Habibi. And if you want to go to Madeira I like to redirect you to the website of Eliza was Here who has an extreme cool offer of Estalagem Ponta do Sol.

TO SEE: TRIBUTE TO YVES SAINT LAURENT

Yves Saint Laurent worked in Paris, but he did get his inspiration in Morocco. He owned a house in Marrakech. So that’s why the city is hosting a tribute exhibition to this iconic fashion designer. Expect to see more than 44 pieces of clothing and accessories. Opening november 27 till march 18 2011.
