MASCOT: The final results

In line with the theme of the campaign image for the 14th edition of FASHIONCLASH Festival, a number of workshops were organized where mostly young people (non-professionals) were invited to create their own mascots. Not like the typical mascots you see during sport games, but avant-garde creations that represent something each participant stands for and is passionate about.

Eventually, 16 different mascots were created during these workshops. The results of the workshops were presented during the Official Opening of FASHIONCLASH Festival at Lumiere Cinema on Friday 25 November. Toneelacademie directing student Nicole Pul was invited to select a group of performers and stage an interactive performance.

MASCOT was organized within the framework of Fashion Makes Sense program of FASHIONCLASH. Fashion Makes Sense is FASHIONCLASH's ongoing participation program from which projects are developed with a focus on social design, inclusion, education and collaboration of professionals and amateurs. In particular, attention is paid to the active participation of young people and marginalized target groups.

Doe mee aan de MASCOT workshops

Binnen het thema van het campagnebeeld van de aankomende editie van FASHIONCLASH Festival (sneak peek: deze verwijst naar de sportwereld), organiseert FASHIONCLASH 3 workshops in het creëren van avant-garde mascottes! Deze MASCOTS worden op zaterdag 26 november gepresenteerd tijdens de 'FASHIONCLASH Festival Official After Party' in The Student Hotel Maastricht.

Van 25 t/m 27 november 2022 vindt de 14e editie van FASHIONCLASH Festival plaats.

De workshops vinden plaats op vrijdag 23 september, zaterdag 24 september en zondag 25 september van 10:00 tot 17:00 uur bij The Masters in Maastricht. Je kunt je inschrijven voor 1 dag naar keuze.

Voor deze workshop is geen ervaring vereist; er wordt een assistent modeontwerper aan je toegewezen om je te helpen met je ontwerp. We beginnen de workshopdag met een korte introductie over MASCOT en geven je daarbij enkele ideeën en voorbeelden over hoe je jouw MASCOT kunt maken. Ook al ben je helemaal vrij in het maken van je werk, het moet wel passen bij het thema van de campagne van FASHIONCLASH Festival 2022, die we je in de inleiding uitleggen.

We will start the workshop day with a short introduction on MASCOT and we will give you some ideas and examples on how to create your MASCOT. Even though you are completely free in the creation of your work, it does have to be in line with the theme of the campaign of FASHIONCLASH Festival 2022, which we will explain to you in the introduction.
