Antwerpen Centraal was a buzz with young people yesterday who wanted to test their skills in a virtual pillow fight with Belgian top model Hannelore Knuts.

The promo stunt was the creation of DAA and much loved Belgian fashion brand JBC to launch their first collection as part of a new collaboration DAAbyJBC available in JBC stores on the 1st of November.
25% of sales will go towards DAA initiatives which utilise pop culture to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS amongst young people worldwide.

The majestic ticket hall was decked out with a large projection screen and a sensor that when activated would display a virtual Hannelore holding a very large feather-filled pillow.
