To hunt and to collect – verbs that define a means of survival, as well as a way of life. Recently, modern culture has witnessed a new strand in human evolution – the emergence of a global community that is becoming more and more mobile, constantly craving cutting edge ideas and up to date information. We now belong to a society that uses the Internet and the latest technological developments to literally hunt and collect the products that correspond best to the lives of each individual.
Hunting and Collecting”, a Brussels based boutique and platform founded in 2010 aims to respond to the needs and desires of this new community.
Occupying a 200m2 space, “Hunting and Collecting” carries a constantly rotating selection of more than 30 exclusive brands for men, women and children. The store also provides footwear, accessories, design objects, and press dedicated to modern culture.
The selected brands all hold a common link: each possesses a clear vision of style and a distinctive identity that results as the product of true artistic creativity and individuality. Rather than following trends, these brands create them, giving them additional value and importance within modern culture. In order to maintain a certain uniqueness. Each season, the choice of products will evolve, both online and in store. The choices for each selection will be based on the items that Hunting and Collecting loves, the quality of the products, and the universes that they represent.
“Hunting and Collecting” actively participates as well in cultural manifestations such as art and design exhibitions, fashion events, parties and nightlife, either as a host or in and around Brussels and online.

Het Modehuis wants to offer you a complete outfit that guarantees a refined ’total look’ without losing sight of the necessary wearing comfort: from casual chic to classic with a twist to the more innovative, from size 34 to size 46.
Het Modehuis would like to receive you in a stylish and inviting setting where we enthusiastically pay attention to the necessary service. During those unique shopping moments, the gentlemen in the group can find what they are looking for in a wide range of reading material in our lounge corner and/or be inspired by the periodic works of art by Absolute Art Gallery.
As a board member at the Duvel-Moortgat family brewery, Veerle Baert knows better than anyone how to run a company with passion. In the past, she earned her spurs in the world of journalism and was one of the founders of Weekend Knack magazine, the very first lifestyle magazine in Belgium.
Her daughter Elke Baert studied Fashion Design at the famous Istituto Marangoni in London. During her graduation year in 2010, Fashion Awareness Direct (FAD) selected Elke as one of the fourteen most promising fashion students in the country. The French fashion house Chloé and high-end men’s label Pierre Talamon were also convinced of her talent. In 2013, Elke realized her dream and launched her own fashion label Furore.
The Furore brand made a new start in 2019 with the acquisition of the Belgian fashion company MFD. In view of the international market, they named their new company since then Flanders Fashion Design International (FFDI).
Our mission
With its fashion, Het Modehuis wants to pay tribute to an inner appearance and sees fashion as an extension of someone’s personality. A select choice of brands and silhouettes should pay tribute to your character, appearance and/or message that you wish to use and thus to externalize within the framework of your professional framework and/or daily active life as a self-confident woman.
Since every woman is unique, we feel called to pay tribute to the design language of everyone’s body without having to sacrifice wearing comfort. Or as Coco Chanel has said before: fashion must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury!
