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.

FASHIONCLASH / Invito Shoe Design Challenge

Museum aan het Vrijthof is currently hosting an exhibition where you can see presentation of 10 different Shoe Design proposals.

From Now on until 13th of October you can take a closer look to their design and the overall process. The jury will also take into account how the participants are dealing with branding and media. Therefore it is important that they gather as much as possible likes via their social media channels like Facebook, Twitter and their Tumblr accounts.
On 2 October, jury will choose a winning design, which will be taken into production and will be sold in Invito stores. How cool is that!

We invite you to take a closer look at Museum aan het Vrijthof. The presentation is installed in the cafe area; Entrance is free of charge.

If you can't make it to the museum here you can also see what they have created and 'like' their work.

At the same time you can also visit the 'FASHIONCLASH @ Museum aan het Vrijthof' exhibition, that has been extended due to the success. Open unto 13 October 2013.
