Fashion by rail, since 1835

Hop on a journey where fashion takes the train!

To mark the centenary of SNCB-NMBS, Train World presents Fashion & Trains, an exhibition exploring the fascinating world of fashion and rail travel.

From the very beginning, railways have borne witness to the changing fashions of those who travelled by train. This exhibition offers a unique opportunity to cast a spotlight not on the train itself, but on the passengers and railway staff, seen through the fresh perspective of their clothes, from 1835 to the present day.

This journey also offers the chance to admire superb railway posters, each capturing the spirit of travel and revealing how closely the worlds of rail and fashion have long been intertwined.

As an introduction to Fashion & Trains, four young designers were invited to imagine the clothes worn by the travellers of today and tomorrow.

Enjoy your visit!
