For the second year, FASHIONCLASH x The Social Hub Maastricht brings fashion and emerging talent to the hotel, with two presentations taking place throughout the building. In the Social Hub Atrium, an additional showcase highlights a new generation of designers, while the lobby presents an exhibition featuring the work of five makers.

Class of 2026 presents a selection of emerging designers who graduated in 2026 from Dutch academies including AMFI, HKU, ArtEZ, Design Academy Eindhoven, Maastricht Academy of Fine Arts, WDKA and Gerrit Rietveld Academie. What connects this diverse group of young makers is their commitment to storytelling through fashion—drawing on personal heritage, cultural memory, experimental techniques and social commentary. Each designer transforms intimate experiences and critical questions into wearable narratives that challenge conventional fashion systems.

In the lobby of The Social Hub, an additional exhibition brings together the work of five makers, offering visitors another perspective on contemporary fashion and emerging creative practices.
