FASHIONCLASH Maastricht 2013 Nomade

FASHIONCLASH Maastricht celebrates its 5th edition and therefore the fashion event will last for nine days this year. 

As it is the 5th edition we are in a nostalgic mood and are looking back to turbulent years. Five years ago no one considered Maastricht as a place where you can find avant-garde fashion. We created FASHIONCLASH with a strong desire to create a clash with fashion as a starting point. ‘Clash’ stands for an inspiring encounter of different designers, disciplines, cultures and audiences. 
Today, Maastricht is a place where once a year emerging talents from all the world gather to show their visions and dreams.

FASHIONCLASH Maastricht 2013 - temporary settlement for Nomads from all over the world

Fashion is a discipline that like no other captures the spirit of time and manages to translate it to form. The world is in crisis and more than ever, the upcoming talent needs a stage. Not only to show their beautiful creations but mainly because it tells us something about our contemporary world. As nomads the young talents are traveling through countries and cities, driven by hope and uncertainty and looking for venues to tell their story. Based on this concept we have created the 2013 campaign image. We created a symbolic persona as a statue for the young talent.
More than hundred emerging designers and artists from all over the world will gather during the 5th edition of FASHIONCLASH Maastricht.

Looking back to 5 years of FASHIONCLASH Maastricht

In between time we are working very hard to make everything possible.
Here are some 'in between snaps' from our office.

Ten designers (fashion, jewellery, Interior, graphic) will launch their new products in the market. C-mine, Town Genk and Design Platform Limburg are making this possible through counselling sessions and presentation moments. You can see and buy their work during X-MAS MARKED. X-MAS MARKED is a unique Christmas market with a design twist. Not the biggest Christmas tree or skating rink, but a sales platform for sixty designers to sell their products to a diverse audience.

FASHIONCLASH at Fashion Philosophy Fashion Week Poland

FASHIONCLASH was invited to attend the international conference that was organized in connection to Fashion Philosophy Fashion Week Poland in Łódź. The conference was held in the amazing Andel's Hotel in Łódź that is located in the Manufactura neighbourhood, a huge former industrial complex. The opening of the Fashion Philosophy Fashion Week Poland also took place at the Andel's hotel on Thursday 24th. City of Lodz used to be the capital for Polish textile industry until the major factories closed in the 90's. In recent years the city is recovering with great initiatives like the Fashion Philosophy Fashion Week Poland, Łódź design festival and the impressive Manufactura. Now Łódź is the place to be and is the avant-garde cultural capital of Poland.

Yes, Polish fashion is emerging, there is room for improvement but there is loads of potential in Polish fashion scene. The international conference 'Promotion of Polish Fashion Industry on the International Market' gave more insight in the general development and possibilities of the Polish fashion industry.

FASHIONCLASH has also experience with Polish designers.
Each year FASHIONCLASH receives strong applications from Polish designers and it was a pleasure to see some of them in the program. FASHIONCLASH Maastricht 2012 participants Kamila Gawronska-Kasperska and Agnieszka Natasza Splewińska showed their collections. We hope that more Polish designers will apply for FASHIONCLASH Maastricht.

FC team at the conference

The schedule offers a broad and rather full program with shows from established and 'celebrities' designers, emerging talents, Out off schedule program, showrooms, young fashion photographers exhibition and parties.

We have to mention and thank the initiators of the conference and the fashion week for the warm hospitality and good organization.
We had great time in Łódź.

Many of them are to be found in the Etalageroute DDW (shopping window route)   through the city: Elvira 't Hart, Annemarije van Harten, Nawie Kuiper, Mirte Engelhard, I am Nold (Natalie de Koning), Lidewij Corstiaans, de l’eefstijl, Marije de Haan, Joelle Boers and so on.
You can find them also in the rest of the program, like Josine Heuts at Modebelofte 2012 or at ABKM stand.
