From November 14 to 16, 2025, Maastricht will be all about the FASHIONCLASH Festival — an international and interdisciplinary fashion festival that offers a platform to emerging designers and (performing) artists at various locations throughout the city Maastricht.
The festival serves as a platform for a new generation of fashion makers and artists who explore and challenge the boundaries of their disciplines. Through their work, they navigate the transdisciplinary fields of fashion, social design, performing arts, and visual arts.
The program includes The Clash House featuring fashion performances, the New Fashion Narratives exhibition at Bureau Europa, the Fashion Film Program & Awards at Lumière Cinema, the participatory program Fashion Makes Sense at Centre Céramique, and various other events and program components spread throughout the city.
Meet the Designer: New Fashion Narratives — Collective Movements
In collaboration with Bureau Europa, FASHIONCLASH presents the exhibition New Fashion Narratives 2025 under the title Collective Movements. For this edition, four fashion practitioners have been invited to form the curatorial team: Jonas Zitter, Paula Dischinger, Rafael Kouto, and Tjerre Lucas Bijker. During a residency week in April 2025 in Maastricht, they collaboratively developed the concept for the exhibition.
Collective Movements highlights projects and platforms rooted in collaboration, activism, and community-driven co-creation. The exhibition brings together collectives, grassroots initiatives, and designers who work with communities to explore fashion as a tool for connection, expression, and resistance. The result is an inspiring collection of stories and practices in which fashion functions as social fabric and a driver of change.
