Clash Project 2016

What happens when non-fashion designers design a fashion outfit? Clash project is an invitation to come out of the comfort zone, to play and experiment. 

What happens when non-fashion designers design a fashion outfit and you give them carte-blanche?

Since the beginning of Fashionclash Festival in 2009, Clash Project each year invites 10 young artists and designers to translate their work into a wearable piece for the catwalk. Participants from different art and design disciplines (all non-fashion designers) are challenged to transfer their practice, both materially and conceptually, to a fashion outfit. It is an invitation to come out of the comfort zone, to play and experiment.

For the 2016 edition the participants are asked to take the theme of Heritage in consideration, whether personal or the heritage of their practice.
