Ontwerper/Ondernemer Project

Doe je ogen dicht en denk aan Maastricht - Eén van de eerste dingen die je dan ‘ziet’ is winkelend publiek in de sfeervolle straten van onze karakteristieke stad en mensen die een drankje doen op het terras gelegen aan een gezellig plein.

Maastricht Winkelstad, we kunnen ons er alles bij voorstellen. Winkelen en mode hebben alles met elkaar te maken. Maar toch is het concept Maastricht Modestad nog niet zo duidelijk te zien.


Het antwoord: Ontwerper/Ondernemer Project
Het concept Maastricht Modestad is nog niet sterk gevestigd terwijl hier wel mogelijkheden voor zijn. Daar wilt Gemeente Maastricht in samenwerking met FASHIONCLASH wat aan doen.

Gezamenlijke ambitie: mode in Maastricht versterken gericht op een reputatie en een dynamische modesector van Maastricht als modestad. Hoe? De academie in Maastricht is een bronpunt van veel talent. Maar slechts weinigen worden succesvol ondernemer. Hierdoor komt veel talent niet tot volledige wasdom. FASHIONCLASH en de gemeente Maastricht slaan de handen ineen en bieden een gezamenlijk programma aan: Ontwerper/Ondernemer.
Dit zakelijk begeleidingsprogramma leert ontwerpers op persoonlijke wijze de basisvaardigheden van het ondernemen waarmee ze hun eigen modeonderneming kunnen ontwikkelen.
Er is nog een lange weg te gaan maar de ingrediënten en de enthousiasme zijn er.

Deelnemers 'Ontwerper/Ondernemer': Joelle Boers, Mieke Kockelkorn, Gabriel Guevara, Linda Friesen, Danielle Vroemen, Ebby Port, Marscha Kessels, Branko Popovic, Nawie Kuiper, FASHIONCLASH.
