SHOW Program 1 + 2 November, SAM-Decorfabriek

On Friday, November 1, the festival was officially opened with the Dress to Protest performance. For this performance, the students of the Maastricht Theater Academy were inspired by outfits made by 180 young people from the region.
The show program that followed in the evening consisted of a five show blocks consisting of multiple designers: NextGen, Clash, NextLevel, BODY ALUMNI and Partner & Awards show. 

The Fashion Show program is a great possibility to discover the latest fashion talent from around the world. This year, the festival once again offers a stage to fashion designers such as Bruna Ignatowska from Brazil, Fabio Bigondi from Italy, ANNJOY from Germany, Marie Lamberechts from Belgium and Annais Yurca Mancilla from Peru. Dutch design talent was also well represented with Maastricht based Chiron Floris, Carlijn Veurink, Berend Brus, Ode Aan Oma, Roos Boshart Prins and TEUN, who impressed with his new collection.

Furthermore, in the program is the Clash show block, that also contained the presentation of the CLASH Project that was specially initiated for the festival. For this project, a number of non-fashion designers have been asked to translate their vision of fashion into a fashion outfit. Participants included the designers Arvid & Marie, conceptual designer Siba Sahabi and product designers Hanneke & Tosca who sent a washing machine on the catwalk.

The show programme was concluded with the Partners & Awards show, where designers from the collaboration partners such as ModaLisboa and Czech Centre are shown.
In this show there was a special performance where fashion and opera will clash and costumes from the Fantasio (Opera Zuid) are shown, accompanied by a live performance by the soprano Kristina Bitenc. Fantasio is a romantic comedy by Jacques Offenbach, the grandmaster of comic opera. Costumes for the fools were designed by four fashion designers Ferry Schiffelers, Teun Seuren, Dusty Thomas and Maarten Van Mulken.

THE ROUTE
various locations in Maastricht

A large part of the program of the FASHIONCLASH Festival 2019 took place in the city center of Maastricht under the name The Route, with the Sphinxkwartier as the beating heart of it.
The Route's program consists of exhibitions, performances, fashion talks and workshops. For example, fashion designers Ebby Port and Henkjenz showed their latest collections at The Student Hotel and at Mosae Forum London based collective Peut-Porter presented an interactive installation.
The program is largely free and accessible to a wide audience.

EXHIBITIONS

One of the highlights during this edition was the New Fashion Narratives exhibition at Bureau Europa.

The fashion designers who are central to this exhibition take fashion as their mission. They belong to a generation of designers who explore the limits of their discipline and question the system and the fashion industry. With their works they move between the transdisciplinary domains of fashion, social design, visual arts and always work with the ultimate user/consumer. Participating designers include NOIJ, Esra Copur, Das Leben am Haverkamp, Linda Valkeman and The Fabricant.

At the Bijenkorf, the multidisciplinary exhibition Showpieces showcased the most precious and / or outspoken pieces from the collection of designers such as Jo Cope, Haesung Bong, Melissa Valdes, Sophie Wantia, Bumagn, Natascha Wanvestraut and Jimmy Junichi Sugiura.

The Class of 2019 exhibition was shown at Lumiere Cinema. With the help of the scouts Nina Willems, Marlou Breuls and SCHUELLER DE WAAL, a selection has been made of a number of works from all academies. It was not a "best of" but a translation of the spirit of the times of the 2019 generation such as Kevin Pleiter, Shannen Bijkersma and Nina Dekker.

PERFORMANCES

FASHIONCLASH is known for its crossovers with theater and dance. For this edition there were again a number of performances on the program such as the show "Rage Against the Dying of the Light" by House of Confetti (Irene Heldens and Dario Tortorelli).

The entire Marres building was taken over during the festival by young theater makers such as Anthony van Gog and Wieke van Rosmalen and students from the Maastricht Theater Academy.

Hendrik Kegels presented his ‘In a Galaxy Far Far Away’ performance Saturday night during the Show program. For this performance he bundled the lyrics of all 269 songs from David Bowie and turned it into his own personal bible. The audience was taken on a nocturnal space trip. A journey full of planets and stars, shaped by a whirlwind of words, synths and beats.

MASTERCLASSES & TALKS
During the Fashion & Politics Talk, moderated by Stephanie Afrifa, there was a talk about the relationship between fashion and politics and how both influence each other. Speakers included Dr. Dr. Bibi Straatman (Director of research Being Political in Art and Design and teacher of artistic research methods), Dr. Angela Janssen (Research Collective for Decolonization Fashion), Peter Paul Kleinlooh (Political Catwalk) and i-Arts Maastricht who have done research specifically for the talk theme.

At the Class of 2019 Talk, moderated by Rachid Naas, the scouts discussed their findings about the graduation projects.

Furthermore, three Master Bed Talks took place at The Student Hotel. In this "In bed with the master" concept, the masters Gaspard Yurkievich, Sruli Recht Barbara Langendijk & Noon Passama were interviewed by another professional.

BODY ALUMNI

BODY ALUMNI is a group of individual designers that recently graduated from the Maastricht Academy of Fine Arts & Design (MAFAD). Their approach is to examine the in-betweens of the human body, fashion, material and the environment. As their education allowed an in-depth research for fields like history, identity, social & political issues and philosophy, the outcomes are just as offbeat as the young designers themselves. All the individual works of this small group, visually as different as possible, deal with the same themes at the end of the day: They are operating between abyss and luxury, culture and identity, body and mind; Continuously questioning the role of the designer in today’s times.

1-2-3 November, Opening hours Marres: Click here

Performers:

Anthony van Gog

Anthony van Gog is a graduating performance artist from the Maastricht Institute of Performative Arts. His performances organize a clever tension between melancholy and physical intimacy. These performances are emotionally dangerous and comforting at the same time. This combined action of fear and security results in a modern sublimity in which the audience is send back in to the world confused; their meaning is carefully layered and never obvious.

Iris Otten

For Iris Otten, fashion is a performance art where movements of the body and textile unite. She works with different disciplines, with a focus on film, fashion and performance. She experiments with the body and translates this into a visual research. Behavioral symptoms offer her an endless source for experiment that expresses itself in an uncomfortable feeling.

Marthe Koning & Lieke van der Vegt

EYE YE FRY welcomes you into a small mesmerizing world. This interactive, continuous performance beholds an intimate, eye to eye encounter. After you have entered, fiction and reality appear not to be as distinct as you know them. What happens when the two worlds collide? Performers Lieke van der Vegt and Marthe Koning invite you to balance the fragility of the surreal by just looking.

Wieke van Rosmalen

In 2017 Wieke van Rosmalen (1996) suddenly made an EP: VICA. It was through VICA that she re-encountered her long lost love for music. She creates sounds that hurt your ears a little and compositions you only start to understand once you’re long done listening.

Orlando

ORLANDO is a research project based on the novel by Virginia Woolf. The 2nd year Directing students of the Toneelacademie Maastricht are invited to explore the topics of transformation, gender and identity in the context of fashion design. The project will result in a group presentation containing several small individual performances.

Orlando is an educational project coordinated and guided by Joost Horward (Toneelacademie Maastricht/Karmijnrood Podiumkunst) and Branko Popovic (FASHIONCLASH). 

Princess Isatu Hassan Bangura

I am interested in the worlds beyond and the supernatural, the multiverse and the parallel universe. I love merging fiction into reality.

What I want, is to be shown a new world, maybe a world with problems of the current one. Show me what is possible, not what already is. I aim to create performances that introduce new and unseen realities with the use of that which is real. I like dark, heavy, stormy and turbulent and at the same time I tend to stay grounded and less in the air with my creations. 

 
 

House of Confetti by Irene Heldens & Dario Tortorelli

House of Confetti produces cultural and artistic stage productions where fashion is combined with other art forms such as dance, music, poetry, photography and visual art (performance art).

The foundation originated from the need of fashion designer Irene Heldens to create a platform in which she can show new collections in an authentic way to the outer world.

Within this production house, Irene Heldens will always act as the artistic drive and guarantees quality by choosing partners that are able to translate her artistic vision into a stage production.

Saturday, 2 November / 15:00 (duration performance +- 50 min.) / Kumulus / Entrance fee € 10.00 

 

In A Galaxy Far Far Away by Hendrik Kegels

Hendrik Kegels bundled the lyrics to all of David Bowie’s 269 songs and turned it into his own personal bible. He read them, analysed them and, together with musician Frederik de Clercq, mashed them up into a symphonic opera somewhere between spoken word and a semi-anecdotal song lyric. In this dreamlike transformation, Hendrik Kegels reveals the desire to exceed our physical and mental boundaries. During the performance, the audience is taken on a night-time space-trip. A journey full of planets and stars, given shape by a whirlwind of words, synths and beats.

 Saturday, 2 November / 21:30 / SAM-Decorfabriek / Free entrance


Exhibitons

New Fashion Narratives at Bureau Europa

The fashion designers that shape this exhibition see fashion as a mission. They belong to a generation of designers who explore the boundaries of their discipline and question the system and the fashion industry.

This way, they introduce contemporary themes such as inclusiveness, gender, consumption and thus new narratives for fashion.

Opening + Fashion Talk: 17 October / 16:30 - 20:00 / Bureau Europa
On Thursday 17 October, New Fashion Narratives will be officially opened with the Fashion Talk: New Business Models. The speakers are fashion designers who know how to combine their artistic skills with entrepreneurship and thus introduce new sustainable business models for fashion.

New Fashion Narratives at The Student Hotel

The beating heart of The Route can be found at the Sphinxkwartier, the newest hotspot in Maastricht, which will be renamed ‘The New Fashion Narratives @ Sphinxkwartier’ for the FASHIONCLASH Festival. This includes the 'Class of 2019' exhibition at Lumière Cinema, presentations of designers ebby port and HENKJENZ (3 November) and masterclasses at The Student Hotel and the 'New Fashion Narratives' exhibition at Bureau Europa. 

MORE! MORE! MORE!

People always want more, more and more. We measure our happiness with the amount of wealth we possess. We think we can achieve an improved version of ourselves by collecting more items. It will never be enough. But when does this end? Does it even have an end? 

In our film the clothing has the leading effect on the character. The desire for wanting more made the character dependent on the clothing. It has lost its function to think, making it a puppet in the grasps of the clothing. 

1 – 3 November / open 24/7 / The Student Hotel / Free entrance 

 

Laura Snijders

I start my process by making observations in society. I observe how people dress, behave and how this communicates to me. By doing this, I’m able to reflect on the fashion system itself and general logical ways of doing. In my work I try to make sense of all this chaos by making my own rules and systems, mostly by inventing a logic that is not actually logical. My work consists of practical visuals, taken out of their context, bright colors and a focus on materiality and layers.

1 – 3 November / open 24/7 / The Student Hotel / Free entrance

 

Class of 2019

ebby port

ebby port is an independent Dutch womenswear brand. 

As a designer willing to empower woman, it is important for Ebby that her customer dares to be different and feel true to herself wearing her clothes. This philosophy is reflected in Ebby’s shapes, which are unfussy, comfortable and feminine, using versatile materials and vibrant colors, which give the wearer added ease and strength.

Making items unique by adding hand-painted silkscreen prints, Ebby also approaches fashion in an artistic way; using the fabric like a canvas to express her feelings and emotions, intuitive and abstract at once.
