From 14 to 16 November 2025, FASHIONCLASH Festival returned for its 17th edition. Taking place at several locations throughout Maastricht, this international and multidisciplinary fashion festival provided a stage for a new generation of designers, artists, and performers from the Netherlands and over 25 countries worldwide.
Over the course of three days, visitors immersed themselves in a thought-provoking programme filled with performances, exhibitions, films, workshops, talks, and participation projects. With programme components such as The CLASH House (fashion performance showcase at ENCI), 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 many more events across Maastricht, the festival presented a multifaceted and inclusive perspective on contemporary fashion culture.
This year, the festival unfolded through seven archetypes created by ULKUHAN: the Writer, Performer, Filmmaker, Soundscaper, Designer, Poet and Print Designer. Each archetype represents a different perspective. From spoken word to performance, film, design, sound, print and poetry.
