SpotOn! 'Fashion Maastricht' Expo
Spot On 'Fashion Maastricht'Pop-Up exposition curated by FASHIONCLASH
This multidisciplinary exhibition represents the quality of craftsmanship and a broad spectrum of fashion design aesthetics of talented designers who are linked to Maastricht. The presented work stands out for its textile and material research, innovative tailoring or the conceptual approach. This exhibition gives a glimpse of authentic ideas offered by a new generation of visionaries that are shaping the new history of Maastricht, a city with a long tradition of arts and crafts and known for its sense of style, quality of life and dynamic cul- tural scene. Most of the featured designers are alumni of MAFAD, the Maastricht Academy of Fine Arts and Design. Among them you can see pieces of designers that are successfully emerging and work of the latest generation of fashion design graduates.

FASHIONCLASH Spot On! The most progressive fashion festival in Europe is pulling out all the stops. Fashion will clash more with the city and the broader cultural field. The festival will no longer be bound to time and place! FASHIONCLASH Festival 2016 will be a completely new experience. By becoming mobile, FASHIONCLASH can appear at special locations, events and in other cities as well. To be able to realize this transformation, a basic infrastructure needs to be bought. The campaign FASHIONCLASH Spot On! attempts to raise 30.000 euro in order to make this happen. The money will completely go to the purchase of professional material like lighting and material that is suit to give fashion presentations of the FASHIONCLASH-standard.
