Exhibition
The former décor factory of the Mosa will be temporarily transformed into a cutting-edge exhibition show room. Art from different disciplines will be presented such as fashion, accessories, photography, illustration, video, product and textile design and installations. Annemarije van Harten, Lidewij Corstiaans and Tessa Wagenvoort are presenting their new work in joined installations ‘Modedragers’.
Works from designers and artists such as Sara Vrugt Merel van Gils, Hao- Ni Tsai, Maite Catti, Keta Gutmane, Lonneke van de Palen, Mandy Rep, May Bernardi, Ulrik Martin Larsen and Stefan Friedli and of course, many others will be waiting for you to be discovered.
Clash project & Theatrical Encounters
Two specialties of FASHIONCLASH are the interdisciplinary projects such as the Clash project and Theatrical Encounters. Under the slogan Clash project several non-fashion designers and artists will create alternative clothing in connection with their usual discipline. This year designer Maaike Fransen, stylist Natalia Kacper Mleczak and artist Olek and eight other designers and artists will translate their vision of fashion into an outfit for the catwalk.
More projects
To complete the program of FASHIONCLASH there will also be several presentations in the city centre, a party and the 2nd edition of the FASHIONCLASH Market in the public library.
The FASHIONCLASH Market offers visitors the chance to browse, to get inspired and to purchase unique clothing, accessories and design of young designers.
There is no doubt about FASHIONCLASH being an outstanding event nobody should miss out. For this weekend in June Maastricht will become a fabulous fashion hotspot that does not need to fear the comparison with any other European fashion metropolis.
