Brussels Fashion Week (MODE 1000) and the associated showroom week are held in February and September. FFGR Belgium provides VIP transport throughout the Brussels fashion calendar.
Brussels Fashion Week — officially presented as MODE 1000 — takes place in February and September. The event has grown significantly since its restructuring in the mid-2010s and now attracts buyers from Paris, London, Amsterdam, and New York alongside the Belgian trade and press. The show venues are primarily in the Tour & Taxis complex (the restored 1907 customs and rail depot in Laeken) and in the Villers Foundation's spaces near the Sablon.
FFGR Belgium during fashion week: the combination of tight show schedules, multiple venue changes, and the professional appearance requirements of fashion week participants makes private chauffeur service particularly practical. FFGR Belgium provides event-day transport for designers, buyers, stylists, and journalists attending MODE 1000.
The circuit: a typical fashion week day involves a morning appointment at the MODE 1000 showroom complex (typically Bâtiment E at Tour & Taxis), an afternoon runway show (various venues including the Palais des Beaux-Arts and private galleries in the Sablon), and an evening presentation or dinner (the fashion week social calendar is concentrated in the Sablon and Ixelles).
Vehicle for fashion week: the Rolls-Royce Ghost is the visible choice (arrivals at shows are, for the fashion industry, still partly theatrical); the Maybach S680 is preferred for buyers and editors who prefer to arrive without making a statement about the vehicle.
Fashion week booking: advance booking essential for September edition (Brussels' busiest fashion week). February edition: 72 hours advance booking typically sufficient. Contact FFGR Belgium's events desk for full-week packages (5 days, priority dispatch, dedicated chauffeur).
