Museum of Model Art

That is about to change as the Hasselt Fashion Museum unveils “UltraMegaLore,” a show devoted to über-mannequin Hannelore Knuts. The gambit? Knuts isn’t the exhibit’s main subject but also its chief curator.

To non-Belgians, the small Flemish town of Hasselt might be best known for hosting the Junior Eurovision song contest in 2005. Clearly, a mecca of taste this isn’t.

For over a decade, the 32-year-old has been a distinct presence on runways & magazines with her vampy, androgynous look, an alluring mix of Greta Garbo, Annie Lennox & Robocop.

That face, paired with the body of an unusually shapely athlete (Knuts has breasts), made her a favorite of fashion’s biggest names, including Jean Paul Gaultier & Steven Meisel, who booked her for two consecutive Spanish Vogue covers in 2000.

To celebrate her career, Hasselt handed Knuts the keys to an empty museum & gave her carte blanche to fill its two floors any way her model brain desired.

Her response was to redirect the attention from herself to the people who have formed her personally & professionally — photographers, designers, painters, musicians & even a poet ex-boyfriend.

He took a rare break to talk about her experience curating “UltraMegaLore,” touching on several colors & how everyone from Azzedine Alaïa to Mama Knuts got on board.

Knuts started planning her anti-retrospective over a year ago & was recently onsite putting the final touches before last Friday’s opening party.
