FFH: THE FUTURE OF FASHION
Forza Fashion House Maastricht (FFH) will be the place where knowledge, creativity, and entrepreneurship are connected. A laboratory for fashion talent, and the epicentre for Fashion Maastricht, as of Januari 2017 located on the 2nd floor of the LAB-building in the new cultural, and creative heart of Maastricht: Sphinxkwartier. FFH brings the practice of the industry directly to fashion designers, following a new vision for design, production, retail, and education. This new platform creates a space for the close collaboration between these four important pillars of the Dutch fashion chain. Besides providing a collective workspace, and connecting the chain, (upcoming) designers are also able to learn more about the areas that are vital to keep a fashion business working. FFH informs them of the roles available in fashion, and the skills necessary for each, and helps them understand the fashion industry. The goal of FFH is to become a knowledge centre, and creative accelerator where the collective is as important as the individual, and where rising local, national, and international talent can develop into creative entrepreneurs.

IN THE HOUSE As of January 2017 Forza Fashion House Maastricht will open its doors, offering an inspiring workspace and cultural venue for thinkers, fashion designers, artists and creative entrepreneurs. Inside you will find the FFH Support & Netwerk | FASHIONCLASH Office, studios, a showroom, and a multifunctional event & community space.

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FFH is so much more than just another creative workspace. FFH also offers a challenging development program, focussing on entrepreneurship, marketing, and inspiration for the creative mind. Expect meet-up events, lectures, masterclasses, workshops and more.
