Open Call for Open Mic Night

FASHIONCLASH is happy to present to you their additional Open Call of the Open Mic Night for the 13th edition of FASHIONCLASH Festival on 26-28 November 2021!

Missed the FASHIONCLASH Festival Open Call application deadline earlier this year? This may be a great opportunity to present your work to a wide international audience! We are proud to introduce the Open Mic Night, a new program part of the 13th hybrid edition of FASHIONCLASH Festival. Everyone, professional and semi-professional creatives, and all disciplines are welcome as long as they relate and connect to the world of fashion. 

Call for participants: Fashion Makes Sense - STAND-IN

Everyone knows those signs with crazy, iconic or cartoonish bodies in which you can stick your head through a cutout hole. For a brief moment you imagine yourself in someone else's body.

We are looking for creatives who, together with fashion designer Antoine Peters and theater maker Lieke Benders, want to make 'Stand-In boards' for a series of performances during the FASHIONCLASH Festival 2021. Everyone is welcome, experience is not required!

Fashion designer Antoine Peters and theater maker Lieke Benders use this concept to play with identity, and to question the (expressive) power of clothing and someone's personality. The 'Stand-In boards' do not contain headless cartoon characters, but unique 'looks'. These are created in collaboration with workshop participants. Based on their personal story, they create an outfit on a plate. What happens when someone expresses himself without restrictions, and without body and face, in textiles?

During the FASHIONCLASH Festival 2021, the 'Stand-In boards' roam the city of Maastricht. What happens when you step into a look and your own clothes are disconnected from your head? What does your clothes communicate without your face? Can you identify with the creator of the look and unravel his personal story? Do you put yourself in someone else's shoes, literally and figuratively? Or is your personality stronger than your adopted 'look'? The outfits challenge you to connect with someone else and with yourself.

STAND-IN is a project by fashion designer Antoine Peters and theater maker Lieke Benders, initiated in the context of the FASHIONCLASH participation trajectory Fashion Makes Sense. For STAND-IN, FASHIONCLASH works together with The Masters.

Open Call for the 13th edition of FASHIONCLASH Festival

In the footsteps of the last edition of FASHIONCLASH Festival, the upcoming edition of FASHIONCLASH Festival will be a combination of both physical and digital (hybrid) events. Due to the limited circumstances because of COVID-19, we experienced many benefits working with the digital medium and we are looking forward to experiment even more with this for the upcoming edition on on 26-27-28 November.

During the last, fully digital edition of FASHIONCLASH Festival (26-28 February 2021) more than 15.000 people have been able to experience and enjoy the event.

Do you want to be a part of the next edition of FASHIONCLASH Festival? Visit the Open Call page for more information and apply for the program part(s) you would like to participate in!
